You are undoubtedly right, Dave. While even
spam cans are going to Mogas - here I am still using 100LL. I think
I'll keep my eye out for one of those 50 gallons tanks on wheels - 50 gallons is
the limit (I believe) here in NC before you need a commercial license to haul
it. It would certainly pay for itself quick with the differential
over $1.00/gallon (or more).

Ed, I think you should just switch to MOGAS. Now that I
have my system down, it actually takes less time and hassle on average than
taxiing 200 yds to the pumps. My 30 gal gas caddy and 12v pump have
already paid for themselves.

Good idea, Scott. Gun bore
cleaners/solvents been suggested before. What I have found out
is none of the gun cleaners are true lead solvents. It takes something
like foaming nitric acid to dent lead - of course that is lead in the metal
form - something less drastic might work on what appears to be a lead
crystal form of some sort. (If view under a magnifying glass you can
see glints of light off what appears to be crystal facets - of course, I
guess it could be carbon.
In any case, I would greatly like to find
something that would remove the stuff from the ceramic cone - my belief is
that a large amplitude ultrasonic cleaner might shake/jar the deposits off
the ceramic. But, don't have one of those handy to try out
{:<(.
I did try some ordinary TCP (and some
specially formulate TCP) used to remove/minimize lead deposits in air cooled
aircraft engines. That did not work either, it appears that the for
the chemical reaction to be effective - it needs the higher temperatures
encountered with air-cooled cylinder heads - the relative cooler rotary
apparently just doesn't get the metal and spark plug hot enough, long enough
- (at least that's my theory).

I wonder id SAG effected spark plugs could be chemically treated to
remove deposits on the ceramic?
When I was in to shooting at Dept of
Civial Marksmanship matches, we used some liquid products to remove lead
and or copper fouling from the barrel, some were for scrubbing, some for
soaking.
Perhaps soaking the ends of the old plugs in bore cleaner or
something? bleach? Carb cleaner? tomato juice? Who knows?
Just an
idea.
