Left spark plug insulation missing.


Recommended Posts

Riding the whole weekend, came home today rode again for 2 hrs. Running good didn't appear to have any problems. Decided to check the spark plugs the left ceramic insulation was completely missing and less than a millimeter of the tip of the strap looked chipped. The top of the straps had no pieces of metal or sign of detonation. The right plug looked tan and a little with carbon build up around the threads. Only strenuous thing I did to it was 2 top speed runs back to back but even after that the thing felt like it was running fine. All the common fixes have been done recently. Leak down is good, jetting is good I think lol.

Ground strap burned off and porcelain missing is almost always from being lean and then detonation (hammering) causing the porcelain to break. You can be fine on jetting and run a bowl dry if you make a very long run and you run a bowl dry. Dont run any 2 stroke with stock bowls on any carbs for a long long pass. I have seen 90sn blasters , polaris 400s, and banshees all run bowls dry. The single cyls rarely do motor damage but a banshee will for sure.
