Just saw you said yours was from Packard. Gotta work on those attention span issues. :-D

just curious, what plug you got in there?...and how's it look after running at low rpm?
Pmcg:
Br8eix iridium that the folks at Penton recommended with their system. The bike doesn't really idle at all but the plug is dark brown / black. I spoke with Dennis Packard (great guy) and he said the 5-2 and the 4-2 needles have the same bottom so there would be no difference starting.
I put the stock ignition back on and got it to start but sheeted the flywheel key as I didn't tighten the flywheel enough so I'm taking a break for now.
Foxx4Beaver:
I asked, because last summer I started running an NGK BP plug(protruded nose plug)...and noticed a big difference in starting, mostly when it's hot...mine's always started 1st kick cold, but would sometimes take 2-3 when it was really hot from running hard in the sand...now it's one kick all the time with the BP.
I'm curious to see if Motorrad will share his thoughts on the BP plug...cause he mentioned in another thread a while back, that he was running em too.
Pmcg:
I'll give it a try. What is the full plug number?
