flipcarre Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Hey guys, i'm having a bit of trouble lately. Since winter has come and i need some transport to get to my job, i changed the jets from 200's to 250's because some days it goes down to -30ish. Since i changed that i also changed my air screw to 2 turns out. It runs nice but every day i blow a plug. When i checked my plugs the name were BR8ES and i baught some new ones and blew them the next day. So my dad and i figured that the BR9ES would work better for some reason. Do you think i should try these? OR do you have any other ideas i should take a look at. Quote
bansheerage Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 stay with the br8es but correct your jetting. im not exactly sure how to jet in -30 weather because i never experienced that type sorry someone will chim in soon enough Quote
scooter Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 stay with the br8es the br9es is a colder plug cant see that helping you you need to rejet Quote
jbooker82 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Sounds like your jetting is off. If you wanted to try a hoter plug you need a BR7ES. That is a step hotter. Your jetting is what is fouling plugs, but a br7es might help witht the fouling of plugs until you can get it fixed. Just make sure you kind of listen for pre ignition. It shouldnt be a problem but just make sure you pay attention to it. Quote
dawarriorman Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Ok, first off, why on earth are you riding in 30 below weather? Second, whats your elevation? My guess would be 250 is too rich though. With stock pipes and no lid, I was running a 240. And that was pig rich unless it was in the 20s. Quote
dajogejr Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Yep, riding elevation and what mods are done to your quad? I'm thinking it's bone stock...in which case, a 230 will probably be ok. When you say blow a plug, you mean foul it, right? Carbs clean and free of debris? Air Filter Clean, and sealed right? If you're riding in 30 below weather...get a snowmobile for chrissakes... :yelrotflmao: Quote
