My Spark Plug

[jackflack44]

Oil fouled right? It was jetted for racing and when we went to the track I spent quite a bit of time idling when my friends bike died. My Clymer says it can be cause of idling, sadly, i had to idle right after I did my plug chop :( is there really any way to tell what's from the plug chop and what's from idling (if it can happen from idling at all?)?

Thanks :ride:

Yep, appears oil fouled/a rich condition/could be a twenty year old plug, except for the fine wire electrode. A plug chop? http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=92818, http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=48348

I only have about 10 hours on that plug. My understanding of a plug chop is WOT thru as many gears as possible correct? I got to 5 of 6 gears on a dirt road just outside the track.

Where are the pics of the chopped plug?

A few seconds of wfo in any gear, you do not have to do 90mph, for 10 minutes? Letting it idle??? Then you either buy a plug viewer, or cut the threads off. Read the links? This is only for the main jet though. It gets done last. Start with the pilot, off bottom. Read the links.

I guess I need to put in a new plug for a plug chop lol...

That is when them dollar br9es's are priceless! Then buy the racing plug for usage.

Might want to wash things off before pulling the plug next time, the dirt clods won't help combustion.
