Glorian Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Might look at that to, but the engine never did this before i changed the spark plugs? So surely something i've done wrong there. Quote
Stu Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 you may have pulled the wires on the plug caps as you removed them its easily done and there isn't much contact there so a little bit of a pull can be enough to stop the power getting in also double check that plug gap as 7-8 seems more common is so you may have too small a gap on the others Quote
Glorian Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Right.. Got 4 new plugs on the way for £15.. gonna adjust the gap to 7 (whatever the measurement is) with my new feeler guage. and i'm going to trim the HT lead. if that doesn't work i'll leave it in a dodgy area with a poor lock Quote
Glorian Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 I have decided to draw a cock on my forehead for the mistake i made..I MAY... MAAAAAAAAY... JUST MAY HAVE POSSIBLY...Put the plug cap on the wrong plug causing it to not fire properly..Glad thats off my chest who's up for a pint? Quote
Stu Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 dont beat yourself up over it even the best of us make them mistakes Quote
Mr Fro Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Sorry, what was that Tom? I haven't got my specs/hearing aid/Braille with me. Quote
Glorian Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 Sorry, what was that Tom? I haven't got my specs/hearing aid/Braille with me. I stuck it in the wrong hole and got in trouble to sum it up! Quote

Grumpy Old Git Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I once made the mistake when changing plugs to use a 'high grade - tungsten tip' set. The bike would not start! I tried everything before asking the expert at the Suzuki garage who said 'try putting the correct plug type in' - I did and it fired up first time!New (now used) set was sold on fleabay for just under half what I paid.Lesson learnt.

Glorian Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 I got a whole new set of plugs from banditmania on order because it's still firing weird around 5-6k revs when moving. Quote
RantMachine Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 We should have a pact; if this doesn't sort your bike out, and if my bike doesn't pass an MOT once the new chain is on, I'll set your bike on fire if you set fire to mine Quote
