Huh :?: :shock:
Did you mean to say this or did you have finger problems :?: because that is not true....

:idea: Perhaps what you meant was: "do NOT use resistor plugs AND resistor CAPS together"

Where will you find the resistor caps if you have them Duck ?

Comet Aviation should have them.
Bike shops also.

I prefer to run either resistor plugs or resistor caps. Not both together but I know almost all Rotax 2 strokes here run both together. My take is that it increases the resistance to the current flow resulting in a slightly weaker spark. Especially true on the old points ignition systems.
The electronic systems probably don't care too much about running both together.
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two

What I meant was how can I check in my Rotax 582 blue top if I have resistor caps ?

I have just replaced the plugs in my engine to B8ES plugs. I had BR8ES plugs in. I will only fly her again on Saturday so I might then see / feel a difference.

Hello Manne

Splutter is die word.....

Ek het Sondag gaan vlieg (Aquilla 582), na ek geland het Mag toets gedoen voor ek afgesit het, ewe skielik het ek 'n splutter op die een Mag nognooit gehad nie, albei Mags is ongeveer 100Hr terug vervang, wat moet ek na oplet of wat kan die problem wees?

Groete
