Rajo spark plugs

Post by Psainslie » Fri Jan 05, 2024 1:08 pm

I’m currently using Autolite 65 spark plugs in my Rajo head. I’m not that satisfied with my performance and plug life. They seem to foul easily, and wondered if someone had a plug that they liked? If anyone else used the Autolite 65 plug and liked their performance? Thanks Pat

I rather expected on of the folks running RAJO heads would have replied but . . .

I had issues with my Fronty finding a good spark plug. Eventually settled on using a spark plug adapter for a Model A (18 mm) that lets me run modern 14 mm plugs. I've tried various plugs but am happiest with NGK BKR5EGP. Naturally carburetion and ignition changes make a lot of difference.

If your Rajo has the pipe thread spark plug holes like a Model T, you can get the T-5201-ADP adapters from Snyder's. If the head has the straight thread 18 mm like a Model A, get the A-12405-ADP adapters, likewise from Snyder's.

Good Luck, at least the 14 mm plugs are relatively cheap and come in various heat ranges.

Pat - I run Champion A25 plugs in my Rajo Model 30 head. Gapped at 0.035" I've had good success.
