AKheathen Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) another question on one of my plug caps the top of the plug is stuck inside of it how can i get that little metal tip out of the plug cap pull your plugs out and check them! they should be light brown on the ceramic and dry. then screw the one back into the tip and pull it out of the cap :thumbsup: you may have to push and turn to get it to screw back in. and excessive smoke is usually cheap oil, old/bad gas, or plugged air filter.

ClimbAnyHill Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Run it with the fresh gas first so you can really see how it performs. Use the old has later if you must.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyhighprerunner Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Correction use that old gas to start the fire but to get the spark plug top off just try needle noses or get another plug screw it in the plug end and pull it out!

05.Banshee.SE Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 How often are you guys changing plugs out anyways? JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 How often are you guys changing plugs out anyways? JW I usually change mine about every 6 months, just cause I'm anal. I do it in my car, too. If your jetting is right and you don't use over-excessive amounts of oil, you should be able to run on the same plugs like it's a 4-stroke. They should last for a very long time, and SHOULDN'T ever foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I'm even more anal, because I change out plugs about bi-monthly or so. I don't have to, but I'm usually ordering parts anyways so I throw a new set of plugs in, and keep all the oldies together (that are still good.) NGK must love my ass. Since I've been modding my bike so much lately, and dialing it in all the time, I have plug chopped what NGKs South American plants have produced in the last 6 months.
