Hello Mooney Fanatics I’m trying to find some feedback on the Tempest Fine Wires URHB32S. I have a champion massives currently and the aircraft stumbles LOP and doesn’t care to idle well until the tach reads 1200-1300. Few questions: Did it save fuel? Was the mag drop spread more narrow? Did it idle smoother? Was it worth the money?

Hey all, I am working with Tempest to get the set of 12 fine wire plugs for my IO-550-G that I picked up at the Mooney Summit. On the application chart, there are two models listed for this engine: -URHB32S and URHB36S I quizzed the Tempest guy as to the difference and which one to get. He said the difference is how hot they run, and since Conti engines tend to run hotter he suggested the 32S but that I should check with my A/P to be sure. So I've checked with both my A/Ps and neither one of them had a clue that there even was a difference, or which they would recommend. One of them suggested that he'd always want a hotter plug, while the other was noncommittal. So, open to the group...anybody who's put fine wires on the IO-550 or similar, do you remember which version you used or do you have any advice/recommendations? Thanks!

Continental announces new Tempest oil filter part no's with a new gasket that they say is easier to remove in SIL 17-03. See attached SIL. SIL17-03.pdf

12 Tempest UREB36S fine Wire plugs. All brand new and sealed with exception of one package. Opened up first one then realized I had bought the wrong plugs. Located east of DFW will accept cash or paypalPrice is $700 shipped CONUS oboThese were $920 new. Just trying to recoup some money

The last 30-40 hours, I've been dealing with a plug that kept fouling. Each time I did a mag check, one of the plugs on the left mag was causing an excessive drop and roughness. A high power burn always cleared it, but then after takeoff, a "little roughness" would set in again. Hard leaning, then enricheing would smooth things out, but it was getting to be a nuisance. I only had about 400 hours on the plugs. I tried inspecting, cleaning, gap-checking, etc. Each time, just a waste of time. No long-term improvement. It was one of the four plugs, but which one? So.....I bit the bullet, went down to Aircraft Spruce and bought eight Tempest fine-wires. Magic! All is well again. And I can lean further before the roughness begins. (O-360). When I removed the Champions, I looked a little closer. And look what I found! I'd been paying all my attention to the "business end" of the plugs, but should have been looking at the other end! The burn mark inside says I'd had a spark jumping where it wasn't supposed to be. I didn't enjoy buying those fine-wires, but the improved operation is making me feel better about it.
