Help get the GPz going

[HenryDorsetCase]

Replace the plugs, cleaning modern plugs doesn't do shit.
Then check the coils.

Thats fine except if they are NC30 plugs which cost between $20 an d$40 each depending where you buy them.

But yes.

If we're still talking about the GPZ the plugs will be NGK D8EA.

About $7.00 each.

$5 for NGK ones (unless you shop at REPCO, then you deserve the rip off )

is there motion lotion in the carb bowls?

Edit; LOL Fail.

Yes there is, and it is going from the bowl to the chamber. But I think that it might be getting vlocked somehwere though. Since I'm getting no rev response. BUt that could be an electrical problem. I'll wait till i can get new sparkies in and check the coils. After that its the carbs.

As Akzle said, something could be wrong with the sliders.

Who goes to Repco.....

Yeap DPR8EA is whats in there at the moment. If I remember correctly, they're something like 6$ at the Super Cheap in town.

And they're DPR8EA-9.

The correct plug for your bike is D8EA.

The correct plug for your bike is D8EA.

Good thing I haven't bought any yet. Would be a shame if I fitted the wrong plugs.

[ducatilover]

DPR8EA-9 is fine, that's just pre-gapped to .9mm with a "protecting insulator" and resistor type but I'd bet the standard D8EA are cheaper (FWIW, the GN runs D8EA, how exciting!)

Why would you use any plug other than the one the manufacturer specifies if the correct one is readily available?

because it's summer/winter/you're running it lean/cold/hot/rich....(irrespectively)

Ask the fella who put 'em in there, otherwise what Akzle sez.
I've had to move to different plug temps before.
But in this case, if he finds it easier to get something other than a D8EA, then why not?

Mine are 25 each and need 4 bloody hell special ones apprently made for honda aghhh

Right, so we had a wee poke around trying to get the thing to work.

Firstly, the loom was fucked. Splice wiring everywhere, with dodgy connections too. Fixed that with Solder and heatshrink.

Then we moved onto getting the thing started. Every time it turned over, we had fuel on the plugs. So fuel is getting in there. WE tested the plugs, and got either no spark, or very weak spark. So we tested the pickup coil, and got a spark off the plug. A few big ones, and alot of average ones.

And then it started going to shit. No spark whatsoever. So we decided to give up before we fucked it. (We had flaming backfire )

But I'm thinking that the ignition coil input voltage is way too low.

But then again, there's only so much you can do without a multimeter.

[Katman]

So have you replaced the plugs yet?

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.
