    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

how clean spark plugs?

Sand-blasting/media-blasting is really the only way to clean plugs. Snap-on has a nice little unit that works perfectly, but I suppose it is pricey ;).

Sandpaper, brushes and gumout don't remove the glaze, and I think the spark can track along the glaze.

A good running motor has been known to clean plugs up :D.

Be careful with the sandblasting: if you get media in your eyes and need to get medical attention, you'll probably be exceeding the cost of new plugs.
 
Cleaning the plugs just usually doesn't work on my bike.......
I just end up buying new ones.

Im like already on my 3rd friggin set in barely 1 year.
I've been spending most of that time catching up on over-due maintenance, and trying to get her to run right......so I've burnt a plug or two a long the way.

Cleaning plugs works pretty good on my newer truck though.

I cleaned a pair on my bike and got them SPOTLESS.
They just wouldn't fire up.

Went out and bought a new pair......fired right UP!
