    In this video, I demonstrate the proper method to refurbish ignition spark problems. Many cars, trucks and motorcycles have them and they are easy to fix.

    I struggled to get the filler-caps off my plugs initially, however by holding the plug firmly in a vise & twisting the cap clockwise with a large vise-grip, they loosened up great. I coated them in anti-seize so next time I refill them they should just be hand-tight. The anti-seize also did a great job of ensuring less sparks spilled when refilling as I couldn't find my small funnel & had to free-hand it.
    Great tips as always Ichiban - keep them coming.

    Hey Ichiban Moto, Nickeltown carries Spark fluid. Do you think they will have bottles of smoke for the Lucas electronics on my Triumph? Quality smoke is hard to find. I've seen it on EBay, but that was a couple of years ago.
    I have noticed that Lucas spring loaded all their connectors so they come apart when riding. Can I replace them with regular connectors? I think they do that so you will change the smoke on a regular basis. We know that fresh smoke works better than the older stale smoke.

    brilliant. I see you have used the orange spark !!! are these better than the blue ones found in the stomachs of blue bottle flies ? ia m having trouble making the blue bottles excrete the sparks, and just wonder if maybe these orange sparks are better or inferior. I di try getting orange sparks from vigoursly shaking a bottle of lucozade sport, but just got covered in crap when I took the lid off. I was wearing protection ( durex) of course for safety. but now I know what brand you use for the sparks i will get some of that. just so glad you have done this. oh by the way dont try catching the sparks off the arc welder, they just make the pistons stick to the bores, obviously act like a flux capacitate and re-weld themselves...
