Black Sparkplug

[dunny29er]

hey just went to go check my spark plug after a friend said the thin fuel can make it backfire and make the spark plug black and i is just wanted to know is this alright normal or bad

have a dhz dpro 140

 

[CHONDA]

i would say bad, not sure but there ment to run like a lil gray arent they.

What do you mean by 'thin fuel' exactly?

 

[dunny29er]

not sure like the fuel is thin or something and passes through the piston not sure just saying what my friend said

Id say you should not listen to your friend.

 

[sam93]

deffinatly dont listen to your friend. And your engine is running what you would call "rich" Means that you are giving the engine to much fuel but its not really bad, it would be more bad if it was "lean" which makes the engine real hot. Look up some carby threads and youll sort yourself out in no time. Just clean your plug before you start tuning your engine.

what do i need to clean the plug, whats the plug. Sorry im a massive noob on motorbikes

wathead mate

Your sparkplug, youll see it towards the front of the engine (closest to front wheel) youll see a wire running to this thing sticking out on the right hand side take it out, clean it then put it back in the engine. But you dont need to do it super tight do it untill it grabs then another 1/4 turn.

 

[dunny29er]

ooooooooooh the plug yer i will clean that

 

[dmacri]

i would listen to his friend cause i got it for the mechanic so yer he nows more then u

 

[DHZ_XR8cing]

Huh??

must be a pretty shit mechanic if that's what he told your mate

 

[dunny29er]

hahahahaha

 

[sam93]

dmacri im sorry mate but there must have been a miss translation if you even knew the basic knowledge around a motor you would have said wtf to the mechanic. Your information is wrong buddy go back to engines for dummies 101# handguide i hear they sell it on ebay america.

But seriously take your plug out clean it find the carby tunning guide using the search funtion and youll be right that guide taught me everything i needed to know.

Good luck,
Sam93.
