Spark Plug Voltage Varies With Speed Why is it a tractoi mav inn fine at low speed and "miss” at high speed' According to engineers trom a national spark plug company, when an engine is idling and there is a very small amount ot explosive mixture in the combustion chamber, the resistance again st the spark jumping across the electrodes is low and pro bably only -1000 to 6000 volts will he sufficient to make a spark occur However, when the throttle is wide open under heavy load compression will be higher due to the Xact that there are rnoie molecules of air and fuel mix ture between the spaik plug electrodes The resulting in creased resistance can actual ly step up a spark plug s re- qmred firing voltage to as much as 20,000 volts If any components in the ignition system are not m condition to handle tins high- Warwick Rambler, A.
