what plug to run in a tecate?

[Yamaha_Rules69]

I have a 1984 Kawasaki Tecate. I was wondering what spark plug to run? I took the spark plug out, checked spark, it was fine, but I think I'm running too hot of a plug. Its a NGK B9E S. Does that sound like the right one? What plug would you recommend? Thanx.

iam running an 8 in mine. thats as cold as i go. 7's work good too sometimes.

NGK BR8ES

If B9ES is too hot, youve got carburetion issues. In case of confusion, with NGK lower number=hotter. Im curious though, if the plug looks good, why do you feel the plug is too hot?

Tim & All. The 9 should be fine. The higher the number with NGK = The colder the plug. The 8 is hotter than the 9.

i run a b9es in my 86. i run a 88 kx250 ignition and that is the stock plug.

why is it you run a '88 ignition? stator coil cdi etc.?

because the magnets are screwed on (no more busted flywheels) it is also lighter and more powerful!!

KX250 ignition on a Tecate is the best way to go in my opinion too.
