Spark plugs - not all the same. Is there a reason?


I have just removed all my plugs.
What fun. Yes they are black - was running 145 mains in a 1776. Prolly a little rich Craig tells me.

Here is a picture of 3 of the plugs. I had already cleaned one so I could tell if the new jetting was better- it is :cool:

But on No.3 cylinder I have a different plug.
3 of the plugs are Bosch Super 4.
No. 3 cylinder has a Beru ultra - some French thingy.

Is there a reason for this?
I think I will just buy 4 new Bosch ones. Suggestions? Terry.

As Craig says get a set of W8AC in Bosch,you will find less problems,over the years we have seen lots of problems with other plugs such as the thread protruding into the combustion chamber,getting a build up of carbon and bringing the thread with it on removal, wrong heat range causing fouling or burning the electrodes.

Thanks Grumble. Have sourced and installed. I don't want to do that again for at least 1 week. But I guess when we are sorting out the jetting.

the Germans think of everything - except what happens when you install a set of Italian carbies !
