Are you sure these are for the CB, not for your twin boxer aircraft (one side only)?



BTW, is it already installed and flying ??

Yes, PB. I picked it up in Idaho about a month ago. After about 17 hrs. of break-in flying, everything is back to normal.

To keep with the spirit of the thread, the airplane spark plugs get inspected at least once annually and generally need replacement after 700 hrs. of usage.

I replace spark plugs and the air cleaner every 25,000 miles. I inspect them when I pull them out to replace them lol.

Like Oxide, I watch for symptoms..hard starting, gas mileage going down, not pulling cleanly when accelerating. If no issues I go to 25k
