How To Plug Chop Your 2-stroke

This video presents a tutorial on how to properly perform a plug chop and analysis of your spark plugs.
This test is performed on a 1998 Yamaha Banshee with an assortment of modifications.
Thanks for watching

Never heard of plug chop

[@dernamewarverfuegbar]

same man!

[@MarkHorn-td9mh]

Never jetted/tuned motorcycle carb then

[@Floridawoodsbanshee]

Nicely explained sir

[@shawncordeiroTerraceBC]

sha pow your waisting your money just look at the ends after removal

[@richb.4374]

I agree. No need to cut plugs up to see how rich or lean the engine is running. This guys engine is running a bit lean for a 2 cycle. Better richen it up or you'll burn the pistons.

stay pinned for 12 sec 6th then kill and clutch not punch let off gives false reading

Can you talk more about the aviation fuel ⛽️ does it run cooler or hotter?
What cylinder pressure do you have?

[@normalname4935]

Avgas runs cooler by principle. But it’s unleaded so the deposits in the ports may not be worth it.

[@richb.4374]

@@normalname4935 Av gas is leaded, not unleaded.

[@normalname4935]

@@richb.4374 typo. My bad!

[@richb.4374]

Unless the engine is running 12:1 compression or more, using av gas in a 2 stroke quad engine is just a waste of money. The only time you need high octane in any engine is if it runs high mechanical compression or lots of boost. Av gas is leaded, which modern engines don't need so all that will do is add deposits to the combustion chambers. The only reason they still use leaded fuel in aviation is because there are many very old engines still in service in aircraft that require lead to protect the valve seats. The higher octane is not for more power, it's to resist detonation (spark knock) which would destroy an engine in flight and cause engine failure.
