spark

I'm getting readings from 8.66k ohms to 9.25k ohms for the plug wires. Any one know what's acceptable? I've read aprox. 1000 ohms per foot and these are about a foot. Original 7 year old wires I believe and I have some new ones on order. Thanks,Mike

Hello I am looking for a little advice and direction. I have a 1985 vmax and just recently put it back on the road. I cleaned the carbs(completely disassembled), new fuel fuel filter and spark plugs along with oil change. Started the bike and ran great for about 5 minutes then it sounded like...

So the PO had Knology Hotwires and Splitfire 416c plugs in. I am now switching over to the COP's setup. So now going from resistorless plugs to plugs with resistors correct?? My other questions are: Which spark plugs should i use with the new denso COPs? Whats your suggestions on running...

Pulled the plugs out looks good after sitting for a day the plugs are wet with gas. Bike runs great great rebuilt last year the only thing i didn't replace is the emulshon tubes don't know if i spelt that right , would that cause that my floats are right . Anyone know what they cost.

Yesterday, I pulled a bonehead maneuver and accidentally left my key in the on position while eating at a pizza shop down the street. I was there about an hour and a half, and during this time my Odyssey PC680 battery ran down. I had my brother help me push start the Max, which was surprisingly...

I just bought the E3 DiamondFIRE spark plugs, but haven't installed them yet. Is anyone currently running their Vmax on them?

Well thanks to everybody's help, I got a lot replaced (coolant, oil, gear oil, fuel filter) I guess the last thing on the list is the spark plugs. What do I have to take off / do to get those things off? You can obviously see them but accessing them looks like a different story... Would...

Will replacing the spark plugs increase power output or is it just a hype? What about if I replaced the spark plugs and wires with aftermarket performance ones? Thanks, Jaymel

I could use some help from the forum on this one... My 96 vmax will run great until the bike is warm and then it dies and won't fire up again until the bike cools off (about 2 hours). Here's what I've tested: Pickup coils resistance is 111 ohms even after bike dies Battery is charged (even...

Ok, guys. I've got the bike reassembled enough to start testing for my electrical gremlin. I get stronk crank and no spark. I've got a test kit from Sean and have replaced my parts with his at the following locations bar switch housings left side cover relays and boxes tci brain ignition switch...

Just wondering if any one has used them and how you liked them and what's the part number.

Inspected the spark plugs today. Left front and back were dry, light brown, looked like they were burning good. Right back was slightly wet, a little darker brown. Right front was less wet than the back right, and little lighter color, but not the clean burn of the left side. I have been told...

Greetings: 88 VMX pretty much stock except for exhaust and K&N filter. Pulled the carbs out and went through them completely. While they were out, I used DeOxit and dielectric grease on all the connectors. Put everything back together, started it up and it ran at idle although one cylinder...

Hi, When my max is cold, the front right cylinder backfires a couple of times when I drive off with the choke opened just a little. With the choke open full the popping is gone, so you would expect the cylinder runs lean. But here`s the funny bit: The spark plugs of the other three cylinders...

I am new to owning a vmax. I have a stage 7 jet kit and I'm wondering what everyone is running for their spark plugs. I have the stock NGK plugs and they are fouled up. Iam figuring I need a hotter spark plugs but have no idea which ones to you. If you can help me out that would be great

I was hoping one of the carb gurus out there would read my plugs and let me know what you think. Heading on a trip tomorrow and just wanted to get an idea.I have suspected rich as if I warm up with the choke too long sometimes I seem to foul out a plug for a little while. What do you think:

I don't see it coming any time soon but though this was interesting. http://www.osa.org/About_Osa/Newsroom/News_Releases/Releases/04.2011/LaserSparksRevolution.aspx

hello..new to the forum..i recently bought a 89 max with 30.000 miles..not really well kept mechanically...i had it running really well..i redid carbs haven't sinc yet but had valves adjusted and went through as much as i could.. i left it out in the rain a couple days:bang head:...Im sure you...

I've always used NGK Iridium & love their performance & long life, I also used Bosch Silber (silver center electrode) & found them comparable to Iridiums in performance at a fraction of the cost, they are the same heat range as stock NGK spark plugs. Part # = XR4CS Bosch Silber

I just took my spark plugs out of my bike and took one to the auto parts store. They replaced them with the same ones. The old ones were GNARLY...pretty black on the tip, and rusty at the top where you put the wrench. It seemed to idle a little better, but when I get up to 4,000 RPMs, the...
