In Reply to: oiled up spark plugs posted by Farmallb on September 03, 2014 at 11:31:21:
Oh, my, how time flies...are all of us who had to rig jump sparks to keep our jalopies going all passing to our rewards, if any??? Seriously, holding the spark plug wire from the dist a quarter inch or so from the plug electrode makes the spark voltage?? higher to jump the gap, sending a stronger/hotter elec impulse thru the plug,giving a stronger/hotter spark in the comb chamber...(I'm sure any electricians out there are dying laughing at that scientific explanation)... Again, seriously, they used to be for sale at auto parts stores, but we couldn't afford things like that so we just rigged them...usually a stiff wire, coiled around the base of the plug where it screwed in, looped up around the plug wire well behind the terminal, bent to hold the terminal off the plug, but close enough the spark would jump to the plug... Something may cone up Googling auto jump sparks??
