Right guys need a quick answer if poss ,manual says plug gap should be 0.7/0.8 ,is that 7 or 8 on a feeler gauge :-S

Posted

I would have thought that the feeler guages would have 0.7 or 0.8 on them....but it's probably unlikely that you'll get feeler guages that are 7 or 8mm thick......so if they've only got 7 or 8 on them I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that they're the right ones...... :wink:

cheers mate,seems like my gaps are way to wide,I thought it was that but as gaps are that wide I thought I better consult the Oracle,lol ;-)

Are these new plugs or old ones? If they are old ones it could be that the central electrode has burnt down a bit.....effectively opening the gap...... :)

fairly new,I had a whole heap of misfire probs,so I replaced coils plugs plug caps,and it was no better,so someone suggested draining gloat bowls and it cured it,but now it somtimes struggles to start,that's why in checking the gaps :-)

Plug gaps are normally around 25/30 thou Imperial or 0.6/0.8mm Metric. Check whether your feeler gauge is metric or imperial, probably metric.

set plugs to the number 8 gauge,bike started fine but usually does on first start up,the problem is that I ride to work in the morning and when I finish work it seems to crank over for ages so I have to release starter button 3 or 4 times till finally it starts,couldn't be arsed to take it out today tho will see what happens when I use it on Tuesday as I got a day off tomorrow,yay :-)

No mate not kept on a charger and works only about five miles,but I do try to get out on it every day and do 20/30 miles,just this weather is a joke

Was thinking if its kept on charge then only rode a small distance it could have been a weak battery
