    spark plug for 85 big red? part number?

    Sorry I don't know but I don't have the correct size socket to get the plug thats in there out yet. I know she is running rich and am hoping the plug is foiled up a bit. it cranks but doesn't want to idle well and seems to have excess fuel. Occasionally it seems to be missing.

    what NGK spark plug fits in this machine? also what number is one stage hotter and colder. I assume to buy these when I drive to the auto parts store to use for tuning as I go along.

    hopefully my tire will arrive tommorrow.

    Im pretty sure i run a dr8es-l. You can also run a d8ea, but the correct one is the dr8es-l. Its pretty cool how the plug number has es in it just like atc250es.

    DR8ES-L is the correct plug for the 185cc thru 250cc ( 4 stoke honda 3 wheelers ). If your looking for a hotter plug try a D7EA. The lower the number the hotter the plug.

    thanks for the help huys I just got den changing the plug this morning and my smoking problem has stopped. It seems the stock one was pretty foiled up.

    i am still having some idle issues but I am much closer to straightening them out.
