Help get the GPz going

[Katman]

We used one new one. To test with, and we still had the same problem with the new one as the old one.

Edit; Which is a weak spark, to clarify.

The internet is mixture of helpful people who know fuck all and those who offer occasional good advice.

Do yourself a favour and learn to tell the difference.

Replace the plugs as a set.

I don't often agree wirh Kartman, but in this case do what he suggested.

I guess he tested the spark with a new plug. Found a weak spark ... and decided that replacing the entire set with new plugs would not solve the problem.

And I'm inclined to agree ...

so what is a 'weak' spark and how does he know? A spark from a dirty plug outside a bike is a lot different to a spark from a dirty plug in place with all the dynamics going on in a cylinder.

But he tested with a new plug. Not a dirty one. The decision not to replace the set was his. As was the decision the spark was weak.

i realise he used a new plug my point was the 'new' plugs spark may look the same when out the bike as the old dirty plug but that could be a different case once in the bike with all the added things that make it hard for a plug to fire inside and with four new plugs one or two may fire enough to get the whole electrical system back to its normal voltage and a 'stronger' spark helps the others out.

Being the free country this is ... he is allowed to make the decision not to replace the set. The advice to replace the full set to eliminate a potential problem is valid ... for a number of reasons ... but it is still HIS decision. If he believes he is qualified to make that decision ... who are we to argue ... ???

I appreciate the advice that all of you have given. I have tried everything that everyone has suggested. I know you all are only trying to help me here.

I went out today and got a new set of D8EA regardless. And also spent time checking every wire that I could find for the ignition system for corrosion and cleaning it off. And well and behold it starts. Spluttered, for a bit, since there was alot of excess fuel in the cylinder from so many failed starts.

Thanks for all of the help.

Remind me not to get you to fix my bike when it breaks down.
