ii dont hav the spark plug wrentch AND THE PLUG IS FOULED
is there anyway that i can get it runnin witout taking it off.. cuz as of now i cant take it off..
I NEED ALL SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!

 

well... go to the store and get a wrench, or just wait a while till the plug dries up or some of it evaporates out. u really have to take it out to truely get it clean though, i would really change it/ clean it though, or else ur gonna get stuck on a trail tommorow. ask one of the people ur riding with if they have a wrench

 

You gotta take it out and put a new one in. Once a plug fouls it'll never work right again, even if you do clean it. If you don't have the spark plug wrench, find a deep-well socket, a wrench, or use pliers or something. You gotta be able to find a tool somewhere that will take it out.

 

thats not true...i clean plugs ALLL the time

 

We have a box full of spark plugs my cousin's lt250r fouled. We try everthing to clean them, but they foul almost instantly. We're lucky to go a minute on a plug that we cleaned.

 

I know that this is a debatable subject, but...

Back in the 80's, I worked for an auto dealership that had a sparkplug cleaning machine that was made bt NGK. It was basically a sandblaster. It also had it's own coil and adjustable air pressure to simulate cylinder compression, with a sightglass to view the spark. We used it quite extensively. I don't think that NGK would make that machine if they didn't feel that it would work, especially if it would possibly curtail sales of new plugs. There are also handheld cleaners still made and sold today.

 

I didn't know there was anything specifically designed to clean spark plugs. We tried carb cleaner, brake cleaner, simple green, just about any kind of powerful cleaner we could think of, but they still fouled out quickly.

 

na u gotta just use a wire brush and a paper towl...maybe alittle starter fluid...works for me

 

i use carb cleaner,a wirre brush,sand paper and let it dry for a while.

 

I've NEVER fouled a plug in my shees. That's what proper jetting will do for you. Why clean a fouled plug, just throw it in the trash and buy a new one. NGK plugs at napa are $1.75.
