Not into endorsements but found a product which might help someone. The fuel gauge was totally corroded when I pulled it. Found EVAPORUST AT Autozone under ten bucks and also with a rebate until December of this year. Soaked gauge overnight and cleaned up beautifully. Not sure gauge works... have to rewire...still a problem there, but this cleaned up nicely. Can't believe either that something labeled Environmentally safe actually works. Now need to know about unusual wraps from CHT sensor wire near muffler, and if with sensors, there should still be washers under the sparkplugs.

Thanks Larry,
Thought maybe the washers were causing or would cause a problem. Do you still anneal washer after cleaning plugs as we did with spamcans?
I bought, but haven't installed a replacement CHT sensor. Did get gauge to rise sporadically with the old, but it was always 100 degrees below the other with equal heat. So new one goes in when I get back out to hangar.

John, non spam canners (most anyway) don't know you heated
those old thick copper washers red hot and tossed them in a water pail.
-just like new again, or at least until they got too skinny.
What I'm running now takes car plugs so that doesn't happen anymore.
Remember the BG plugs you could take apart?
25 hours seems a little low for a 4 stroke. Mine are still running well

My memory may be failing me on this but it (my memory) is currently
telling me that I was taught in A&P school to REPLACE the spark plug
washer with the CHT thermocouple ring, not stack them. When I asked why
(which I did a lot), I was told that if you do not, the reach or the
location of the spark gap would be different from the design distance.
May not make that much difference, but that is what I remember being
told. So that is what I've always done. And yes, annealing the old ones
when re-using them was also taught in A&P school.

That is what I've always done - 503 dual-carb CDI - 700 hours.
Plugs ..every 25 hours, whether they need it or not.
Just the cost of doing business.

PS ---- I use the expensive plugs too, so it hurts (just a little).

Logical answers from both schools, so now I am confused. Can't remember how
I did it on Continentals... seems like I left them off if there was a
sensor, and my old A&P buddy is away camping for a month.

Hey Thom,
