MOPED ARMY

Put a melody to that and you would have a good Country and Western song.

You could call it....... My Achey Brakey spark plug?

errr

My Cheatin Spark ?

orrrr ????

Lemme do a sweep tonight and tomorrow, and if I get a no-joy on it...I may well take you up on that...closest thing I can get around here seems to be a W7BC, and no chance of a platinum...imop that's too cool for the mix I intend to run in the Targa.

What I really need is a damn W8BC Plat...or one of them four-point plugs from Champion crossed off an L90C.

When ya only got one plug, you wanna get the best, yannow ?

:::still crackin up at Freds commentary:::

I know it's a risk, but given the carbon backup I got...I might run a Splitfire for a couple of short runs to help torch it out.

Heh, since I cannot use either "usual" exhaust cleanin method here....I tried a really weird one....get this.

Took a can of Kroger brand oven-cleaner, and hosed it into the muffler till it was fulla the stuff, then pulled an old brake cable out of it's sleeve and poked it through.....clamped it in my dremel and lit that baby up...seems pretty effective, for them that cannot use acid or a torch due to location.

So, once I get this plug, my ped should be easy to find....just follow that "Fresh Lemon" scented exhaust trail....heh.

What kind of spark plug? NGK? You mean the No Good Kind?

Years ago I had one dead out of the box and have been avoiding them since.

Check the Kmart Auto Section. Out here they have all kinds of sparkplugs, plus the book to reference them.

And not a No Good one in sight.

<that bluesy harmonica opening and rhythm> Can't get a.... better spark plug...<duh duhduh duh duh>goddamn shitty ngk's<duh duh-duh duh duh>need my... ped to run...<duh duh-duh duh duh>%$&&%#&^@^##^*<harmonica solo>

Cleaning a Muffler with acid? I have never heard of anyone doing that. What type of acid do you use?

Called four of em...NGK or nothing, in that range.

I called it right earlier today when I say "Well, they PRETEND to carry Bosch..."

Gee..thank you NGK...not only did the NGK plug die...it took my damn ignition coil out along the way.

This is pissin me off....

Of course no one local carries em....and Handybikes happens to not have em.

And Mopedjunkyards new "don't call us about parts" attitude (espoused on their web page) makes em completely useless since none of the coils they carry bear the slightest resemblance to what came off of the Targa.

Any clues, guys ?

It's toast Ron.....everything else works fine, circuit check is all green, headlights, tails, blinkers, internal control lights, horn...even the regulator checks out.

But that coil, voltage goes in, but it don't come out, NADA.

I got power, and in plenty, but without that coil I got no spark.

And that sucks, no spark, no go.

I had thought it was clogged exhaust, It was showing all the signs, and when I checked I was gettin mediocre spark off the NGK that was in it, but that's normal cause in over a decade, mediocre is all I've ever been able to get out of an NGK in a Tomos, so I didn't think nothing of it.

The Plug is dead too, checked it for good measure, just in case, even the gap was correct on it, not that it did me any good.
