Title: spark plugs
Post by: LLrain710 on May 17, 2004, 03:44:36 PM
Hey,
Next step in trying to get my bike to run, the plugs.  I pulled them out today and they are definatly carbon fouled.  So if anyone has any suggestions on cleaning the without using a sandblaster i'd like to hear em.  If not is there anywhere online i can buy new ones??

Thanks
luke

Checker is an auto parts store.

Check out the following link: http://www.partsamerica.com/

Go most of the way to the bottom of the page, and look at the 3 logos for equivalent stores in different parts of the country....  (Checker, Schuck's, Kragen)

Any autoparts store should have them. They're very cheap.

I get the NGK's from my friendly local dealer for less than $3/pair.

A little steel wool can bring an old sparky back to life but at $3 even the Cheap Bastard spluges.

Gas and an old tooth brush.... or one of those tooth brushes with metallic bristles. Old plugs are better than new, the old ones actually clean off a bit more slowly, so plug pulls etc make better readings for on plugs.
Cool.
