miner Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 the only new plugs i could find at home were a br8es,left, and a b8es,right.i will do another chop with identical plugs next time. im running a stock motor,toomey t-6,280 mains,airbox lid is ON with the snorkle removed.i was running 220 mains but was really lacking top end pull. now with the 280's it pulls much stronger on top but from about 1/8 to 3/4 throttle its running like crap.a needle adj. should correct this right?oh yea im also running 93 oct at32:1 with blendzall(castor based), it was about 45 deg. out at around a 700 ft. elevation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both the same heat range, One is a resistor plug and the other is a non resistor plug. I wouldnt see that causing the color to be any different. You will probably end up doing a air screw adjustment for the 1/8 or right off idle stumble you have. Mess with the needle and then the air screw.

miner Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 sorry about the let down on the pics. i couldnt get my file size down small enough. anyway,there was actually a diff between the two.the r plug looks beautiful but the non res. plug has a swirly look to it almost clear to the tip of the insl. i checked the windows on the carbs after i got it back together and they looked good(in sync).once i get a chance ill do a lookover of the bike and try it again with two identical plugs.thanx for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
