February 12, 201610 yr Author well im finally getting somewhere, I took spark plug out and earthed it to cyl head and its sparking but not well. its got a new coil so should it spark well with this? what else could cause a poor spark, a duff spark plug? i wouldn't mind the first thing i did was order 2 new spark plugs but the top nipple where ngk lead attaches was different. can i fit the new plug with a different ngk lead end or where do i get the same skinny headed plug from? such a simple problem stopping it running i think, annoying as engine had been rebuilt last year! cheers! tom.
February 12, 201610 yr Author iv ordered a new spark plug cap to match the plugs iv ordered with same part number. ill update when iv tried it. thing is it always starts first kick so it must be summate and nowt.
February 13, 201610 yr Just unscrew the nipple from the top of the plug. It could be that there is not a brilliant connection between plug cap and HT lead. Cut it back slightly then screw the cap back on. Is there a screwed connection at the coil end? I don't recall resistor plugs specified for Fantic so you want neither resistor. I have known bikes with a poor looking spark that ran well for years.
February 13, 201610 yr Author I fitted a new coil, NGK cap and plug and it kicked up instantly first time! im over the moon!it cant have been anything to do with washing it after all!thanks everyone for your help! Edited February 13, 201610 yr by fantic tom
