atc 110 engine help

[freak trike]

i have a 1980 atc 110...i think my engine is not the stock 1980...i think now i have a 82 83 engine..how i can make the difference.i say that because i want to change the spark plug ...i found a ngk br7hs...i think is not the right one..1980 need a d8ha and 1982 1983 dr8sh.my tread size is 14 mm .thanks.

precision ngk d8ha for american model (12mm)
ngk dr8hs for canadian model (14mm)
DONT understand why previous owner try to use a ngk br7hs

dr8hs is a 12mm plug.

dh8a is a 12mm plug.

Either will work for a stock 110.

If your 110 has an ngk br7hs, a 14mm plug in it, theres a chance it has been drilled and threaded bigger as a repair. In this case, your newly puchased plugs will not fit.

yeah ...you right...now i put a br8hs whit 14 mm tread.i have some spark...i think is good.i check my timing points gap..but my 3 wheeler dont start.i think to low compression ...

is the plug getting wet or is it bone dry? Do you have access to a compression gauge?

[freak trike]

plug wet ...i have to check my valve clearance beforebut if they are ok i will check the compression whit gauge.but if compression still low ...i think a have to rebuilt my top end
