Confused on iridium gapping By rugged (Read 1,277 times)

[rugged]

just received my new C7 iridium plug from scrappydawg
stuff i've been reading says these plugs come pre-gapped @0.28 ; however my owners manual says gap plug to 0.08mm.

ok maybe 0.28 is in inches which is .06mm still a difference.

aside from the iridium plug debate, it's here I'm gonna use it unless it's detrimental.

guru's flame on..lol

To my Knowledge you do not gap an Iridium plug. You can damage the precious metal tip. Try using it before messing with it. Mine was installed without gaping and works just fine. The owners manual says to gap the cheap stock plug but, says nothing about an expensive pre gaped plug. This is only my opinion but gapping is unnecessary. Just Plug and Play ;D I suspect others may have a different view.

Thank you Bong that was the decision I came to as well.

plug installed, but I don't see anything that looks like a cdi, and the coil wire also from scrappydawg it's non-plug end looks nothing like the stock coil wire.

trudging on.... any input is appreciated

(update) it would seem I have The 1 prong version coil on my znen scooter...bummer

Want a performance increase from a spark plug.. forget iridium...

Side gap a standard plug...if you want a power increase...

It is the racer's secret (don't tell anyone now)

Very Interesting!!!!! This may be my next Mod. Now, how about side gapping an Iridium Plug???

Don't worry I won't say anything

You can gap an iridium plug. You simply bend the ground without touching the electrode. You can measure between the ground and electrode with a feeler guage, you just dont want to pry against the elecrtode.

Ya, I run NGK regular plugs at .028". The manual says .032"
