guess you don't have the correct field windings in the motors then or cheap batteries because the electrics can out run and have higher torque ratings than the gas powered jobs, but then two ton heffers are going to hurt anything they sit on and need to stay in the pasture where you picked them up.

Eric we plug our golf carts in every night to charge the batteries, maybe this is why the spark is weak???????

Don't count on E3 spark plugs to save you money on gas
Posted Oct 21st 2007 2:43PM by Sam Abuelsamid
Filed under: MPG

Over the years, countless companies have come up with devices claimed to reduce fuel consumption. The claims have ranged from plausible to the ridiculous. For example, wrapping magnets around your fuel line will not double your mileage and the only way you will ever get 200 mpg with a carburetor is to make it so small that air and fuel flow are so restricted that it can't possibly use more fuel than that. Of course your engine would produce so little power in the process as to be useless.

Spark plugs have long been a popular area for "innovation" of this sort. One of the latest comes in the form of the E3 spark plug featuring its DiamondFire electrode. This one falls into the plausible-but-unlikely category. Writer Larry Edsall recently undertook the latest iteration of a 5,000 mile annual road trip and decided to try out the E3 plugs. While E3 claims a 3-5 percent improvement in mileage, Edsall found his dipped from 20.11/19.98 the previous two years to 19.18 with the E3 plugs. He did all the usual maintenance like oil changes and tire pressures before leaving. Of course the vehicle was a year older and more worn which may have contributed to the dip. But even a fully scientific test with two or more vehicles running side by side in the same conditions (aside from the spark plugs) would probably yield a negligible difference at best. The E3 plugs aren't that pricey ($6-7 each) so if you do choose to try them it won't cost a lot. Just don't be too disappointed if you don't see much improvement in mileage.

caught a quick show on these plugs with comparisons to others, on the same engine there was a 5 hp increase and economy came down which it would because of complete burn, the plug illuminated much better than the competition...anyone try them or see the show?
