This might be from the way I ride, but I find after about a 4-6 hour ride, my plug fades of and dies...

I've tryed champion and NGK, from the book they say these are the ones to use(I forgot the numbers).

I put it through mud, rock, fields, roads, and in water holes so deep that the bike starts to FLOAT, and I have to get off to get the rest of the way across, lol.

And that is the ONLY problem I ever get wit my bike...

What does your plug look like after it "fails" ??? Is your gap set at .024-.028 in? Are all of your pickups, and grounds clean? What year is your "M"?

 

My plug looks WET, but still new. Gap is always .024, cleaned all wire conections when I added the new headlights, and coil. Other than the main motor to frame harnass, all my wires are new, slodered, and shrink wrapped.

Oh ya, it was made in 84'

 

Book says, NGK DR8ES-L, champion RA 6YC, I would check your float setting(.55in.), and needle(3rd groove) your flooding it out somehow

 

needle is on 3rd notch, DR8ES is the plugs that I use, however, the "L" at the end of DR8ES-L, I dont see that on my plugs, nor the book at 'cough' Canadian Tire 'cough' has that plug. RY 6YC's die faster that the NGK's... I don't believe I'm flooding, but I'll check my float to see where its sitting.

Thanks Thrash...

 

My NGK doesn't have that "L" either ?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] I'm not a plug expert! if your plug is wet, you are either flooding it out, or your ignition system is weak/acting up, only 2 thinks I can think of. Unless it's oil fouled, then it's time for some real work[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

It must be just flooding it. This could be due to jetting, and your float too.

 

Mike, hows the YZ project goin?

 

real good, punching the cylinder this week, most of the parts are ordered, in 2 weeks should have it screaming.
