plug

Hi, my first submission so greetings all, but a question as well. is there a cheaper non OEM source for plug wires (preferably locally in South Africa). If I do find wires and caps that fit and look ok visually, could their specs. be incorrect? i.e. ohms,etc. What must I be looking for...

i ordered a set of taylor wires with strobe caps on e-Bay before i became a member of this forum and realized that cops would be the better way to go, so rather then having them go to waste i would like to use them, the e-Bay ad can be found here...

This is for the first generation V Max (prior to 2008?). Advanced Auto currently stocks the NGK DPR8EA-9 plugs for $1.99 ea. Thats what my 2001 VMax required. NAPA had the 7mm metal core plug wire in bulk for 39 cents a foot. Roughly $10 total! For the novice (like me!), the rubber/plastic...

The plugs in my 89 are now running the same color, but very little color on the insulator.. Just a tinge of Tan on the Insulator after 18 miles, How lean is too lean??? I set the sync at 3,000 rpm and it's apparently right on as I shut the bike down from 3,000 rpm and coast into the driveway...

I read a good many post here on stator issue's. Let me make sure I got this straight......Here is my story : I just bought a 85 vmax in super condition.....except on the test drive, A wire smoked and proceeded to melt the plug on the stator/rectifier. Seller promptly snatched the hot wire from...

I am going to upgrade my plug wires...has anyone used the Taylor Pro 8mm wires, and how the hell do you get them in the coil? Thanks, Chris

Trying to figure out how to take the spark plug wires & boots apart so I can check for corrosion and such and rebuild them with new wires if needed. I figured out the screw driver inside the cap to remove the end, spring, some ceramic looking thing and a small metal disc.... But didn't...

Have 07 vmax with a 17mm oil drain plug. I would like to replace stock plug with one that has a magnet. Does anybody know the plug size and tread type:ummm:

I removed the valce covers to do my valve adjustment and have noticed one of the oil plug things on the top of the camshafts is missing. I was not paying attention when i removed the cover so I can't say if i knocked it out or if it was never there. I pulled another plug to look at it and...

ive got a set of 8 mm plug wires another deal on e bay they fit in the plug end fine then i tried the coil push shove grunt cramp wd 40 them more twist wiggle 2 1/2 hours later no new wire seller says will fit have sold hundreds all customers happy all but me i wasn,t drinking or smoking or...

now then.......having real problems getting plugs out,the 10mm socket ive got doesnt seem to want to go down plug hole ,tried a deep reach 10mm still having probs ,,..are the plugs 10mm???? im trying to fit iridium plugs ,...even the iridiums are not fitting the deep reach 10mm tool, are they...

Was thinking about trying this. Warm up the engine and go for a short ride letting the engine comes up to its normal operating temperature. Install a brand new plug that's been properly gapped. With the new plug installed aggressively accelerate through the gears until you reach...

I am going to be making a small run of these COP's harness kits. They will made of all new connetors:eusa_dance: ( not used or scavaged ones from a wrecking yards) . They will also have a high temp sleeve over the wires. At this time I do not have a price yet , due to the fact that the...

I had pulled my valve cover off to fix oil gasket. I found that a camshaft plug was missing(I did have some one else adjust valves). I was wondering if this could cause me any problems as the rest of them them were installed. If so where can I get a plug?:ummm:

Ive read many "this is what i like to use for plug wires posts" but can anyone tell "what should be used" i have to assume the wires that are on it are originals(1988) and the last vmax i had i remember using yellow accel wires with ngk plug caps,but ill be damned if i can remember which. i...

Ok, time to ask a couple questions.... I've never changed plug wires before and although it's a simple task I do have a couple questions. My motive for changing the wires is to see if it helps with the stumble I experience when the bike is hot and @ idle or low RPM (under 2K) Coils, caps and...

Hello All, So I was bored in the garage and started looking at my spark plugs, and O noticed that the front two plugs have oil on the treads.:confused2: The plugs I am running are the NGK Iridium IX, number DPR8EIX-9. This plug was recomended from my local auto parts store, I know I should have...

Hello, Yet another tool I am not sure how to read. What one of these readings is correct for the gap on my plugs. I putting in a set of NGK Iridium IX DPR8EIX-9 I bought this new feeler guage Thanks Ron
