    Who wants a fouled out spark plug?

    Cameron, I am 41 with 3 kids and about 5 bikes (2 and 4 strokes) at any given time. Please provide more trouble shooting content. You are a great teacher. You teach how to think through the problem logically. And your videography compliments your basic instructios for a simpleton like myself and I assume many others. This will expand your subscriptions. May I also suggest a video on 4 stroke valve adjustment? Thank you for your content!

    I always use a wire brush first, to clean, and lets me inspect the electrodes and porcelain. Usually all it needs is a cleaning. Still doesn't run good after cleaning, then it is ready for trash can. I'm not rich enough to throw away an oil or fuel fouled spark plug.

    Really liked your 4-stroke (Yamaha) video on jetting.....I think that you left a bit out here. Might still be a little rich.....I will bow to your knowledge on jetting. On 4-stroke the idle mixture screw controls fuel....so going out richens/in leans.....on two-stroke it controls the air....going in richens/out leans. I know you know but some of your viewers might not. You are a super good teacher....others can really learn from you. How goes the health? Praying for you. Tom

  • @ftball90
    @ftball90 6 років тому +2

    Info was great! Everything you mentioned is easily overlooked. The only thing I do not recall you mentioning is the carb getting gummed up from sitting, considering the poor quality of pump fuel at times. Ethanol can do nasty things when left to sit for extended periods of time. Just another easy item to check before I would consider tearing into the engine itself.

  • @aaronbright5028
    @aaronbright5028 6 років тому +6

    When a two stroke doesn’t rev out it is because something is causing it to be fat. So the plugged peacock and vet hose would not apply here. Crank seals would also make it lean. Being lean would make it high idle.

I know you probably won't see this so if anyone could link a video of a disassembly and reassembly of the whole bike I would really appreciate it. I couldnt find any. I might just really suck at finding things on it. Thank you.

  • @cutweldngrind
    @cutweldngrind 3 роки тому +1

    About 10 years ago I bought a used 2001 cr125 and I junked it when I moved to the city. Today I cleaned the carb and now it revs super high on idle. I noticed lots of smoke and oil spitting out the exhaust. It was working when I junked it so maybe something broke after years in the weather.
    I did the 32:1 mixture, new spark plug. I might order a new rebuild kit for the carb tonight.

  • @joshmx28
    @joshmx28 5 років тому +2

    Sometimes that insulator inside the plug will crack and it will look ok but will be sparking up inside the plug and not down at the electrode tip. I think it happens if the plug is screaming hot and then gets a dab of oil or fuel on it and the porcelain cant handle the thermal difference.

    I had the same issue on my 250 4 stroke bike, it would run fine until around 7000 rpms then would just die, if i let off the throttle and rpms dropped again it would instantly run fine again. I thought initially that the float height might of been too low and it was starving for fuel... But I watched this video and changed my spark plug and the issue was instantly fixed lol. I'm glad I watched the video before I started bending my float bowl tab and re-jetting the carb so THANK ya! @Cameron Niemela

      @elkku2934 doesn't matter the recommended ratio it matters what the owner/ride likes to run and feel comfortable with. You can say what you want but as long as their is oil in your gas the bike will be happy just running less means you might have to do your top end a little more often but my 87 yz250 is still rocking the factory jug and only had rings and pistons every 60 to 80 hours and to the best of my knowledge it's only on its second piston

  • @blairmiller311

    Spark plug could fouled out due to the 32:1. Personally I try and run anywhere from 40:1 to 36:1 on my yz125. Yea probably the spark plug was old but it looked damp, not a shade above coco Brown. Yes spark plugs go bad and I'm not saying it didn't, just your a tad on the oil rich side

    thats so weird. i have never had a spark plug cause issues. cleaning them and checking/ adjusting the gap has occasionally been necessary on older bikes. but that was more about fouled plugs and bikes not starting at all, rather than running issues.
    i did just put a new plug in my bike, i had replaced everything else during the rebuilt, so it would be stupid not to get a new plug. but i was reallly surprised to see a spark plug cause the issues it did in this video

    I'm having a sort of similar issue with my 50cc moped. When I have driving for a while in a steady rpm, and I wan't to downshift with rev matching before a corner, the bike only revs for like half a second while I have the throttle wide open. When I keep the throttle open, it stutters and eventually shoots right to redline.

      Yes you can absolutely clean and sharpen the edges on the top of the electrode. Make sure not to round anything off and give it nice clean edges to be able to jump the gap from and always check your gap and you'll be okay. I have taken ancient spark plugs fouled to hell and back then cleaned them up and put them right back in my bike.

    I had the same problem for 2 years, i had my choke cable somehow stuck so it got really much fuel. Just fixed it 1 day before i sold the bike :/

      @@860Jacob yeah, i was able to ride it but was really plugged all the time so it wasn't a big fun to ride it. Still it beat all of my friends' bikes in acceleration and top speed so idk :D
