yes it really works, tried it today after realising that it does a great job on my porcelain throne and might do a good job on the plugs electrode and insulator. Plug looks like new now from being badly carbon fouled and gives a bright blue spark.

All you have to do is give the plug a quick brush down with some washing up liquid and a tooth brush, shake out the water, hold the plug upside down and drop a little harpic in around the electrode. It will fizz for a while, i waited a few minuites for it to stop and then rinsed it under warm running water and brused lightly and job done. Tried everything for caustic soda to bleach and this is the only household chemical cleaner that does the business.

Says on the bottle that its corrosive so you don't want to leave it on all night - works fast so you won't have to and make sure to rinse it all off and spray a little WD40 on it when your done to get the water out.

Go try, oh and mind your eyes, wear eye protection and gloves etc - safety first!

CLR is some good stuff I use it on the shower head. I usually clean my plug off with some B12 Chemtool. Doesn't always do the trick though.

I tried it and all it did was leave the iron stains it so efficiently removes in the commercials.

Guys,
I running my Gasdevil on 2-stroke Aspen. This is an Alkylate Petrol which is used in the forrests for the chainsaws. It very clean and the engine is running very smooth. With this kind of fuel you do not have any carbon in the exhaust or the spark plug. When there is no dirt, you don't have to clean! Easy and no spark plug problems. Just look on the www.aspen.se site.

That 2-stroke Aspen sounds like some good stuff.
