My VW is electric start, alternator, updraft carb with a HEAT SHIELD, ~3gph
87 octane, and I havent seen my plugs in ~55 hours. I'm not a fan of VW's
either, but a motor is a neccasary evil and VW's are cheap. Yes HKS would
probably be my second choice for a light Kitfox. Ron NB Ore

Hi, no it was in another plane, mainly I didn't like the lack of electical
system and the hand propping, sometimes it started right up and other times
one had to pull and pull on the prop, it was extremely prone to carb icing,
and burned plenty of fuel, it was a 1600 CC 50 hp engine and burned 4 gph
of 100 LL, had to replace several spark plug threads with helicoils as the
alum threads were easy to strip out using a torque wrench and antiseize but
I really didn't like the single ignition.
