Although it is small, play a very vital spark plugs on a motorcycle engine. When this spark plug problem, the engine may die because of the total absence of fire that burns a mixture of fuel and air in the combustion chamber. The problem is, the possibility of this in the spark plug problem-trigger two things: age and its treatment. That is, although the plugs are not tampered with, but still there is the possibility of spark plugs die quickly if one treatment.
Worse still many vehicle owners who mistreat the spark plug, but it's the basic thing. Understandably, because it is easy and minimal maintenance, so plugs often haphazardly enforced.
The most important is at the center electrode (Fig.1). In the process of cleaning the spark plugs, the top of the center electrode is often sanded. That is wrong! Therefore, it created a flat section. If sanded, so the average surface so not so spread the sparks. If want sanded the bottom ground electrode (Fig.2) facing directly to the center electrode. Keep the size of the abrasive wear rather fine or a maximum size of 500.
There is one more thing that is the most basic but often overlooked, namely removing and installing spark plug while the engine is still hot state. Risk sleg the threaded plugs are very large. So, wait until the machine is rather cool if you want to do activities around the spark plug. Likewise cop plugs! Because at the cop plugs are devices of rubber (Fig.4). If it is opened when the engine temperature is still hot, the rubber is damaged or torn.
Well if you want durable, Ari gives a basic grip of this spark plug problem. Certainly, select the appropriate code set spark plug manufacturer. Suppose a long threaded plugs (Fig.5) or the selection of cold or hot plugs.
In addition, set the spark plug gap with accurate estrangement. Figures are recommended, 0.8 to 1.2 mm. Do not arbitrarily set the spark plug gap wear feeling. Deviated 0.1 mm plugs can not only maximum performance and engine domino effect so wasteful of fuel. Finally, these effects were not directly damaged spark plugs can make, namely the selection of octane number. Octane is not fit can cause the engine to overheat. If allowed, the head plugs can melt.
