<VV> oily radios

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

Let's be careful with how we state things

some applications of resistor plugs are to increase  spark voltage

Mobil 1 motorcycle oils don't claim higher Zn & P levels, they just have 
them (determined by actual testing, Thanks to a few certain individuals) 
and this is normal levels for their API classification

I will be greatly surprised if the oil companies share data about their 
proprietary formulations, and even more greatly surprised should they 
actually test at those levels.

Product testing is the Only Way to make a valid determination of 
content, just like toys from China saying "lead free paint" on the label.

A stock ignition system has three condensers -- one inside the 
distributor, to minimize (hopefully) point arcing, the coil itself is 
another condenser, and the RF suppression one attached to the coil 
bracket.  Listening to your ignition system on an untuned AM frequency 
can tell you a lot about the condition of the spark distribution system, 
especially if you don't own your own floor dyno set up.  I can recall 
actually installing those little plug-in coil wire resistors to resolve 
customer complaints about noise, back in days before folks like Seth 
made good wires available

comments and/or corrections appreciated,
