iridium plugs will last longer than standard plugs but thats about it they produce the same amount of spark if the heat range is the same

Im still in the air about these yes supposed to" last longer produce same spark and draw less power" but are also ungapable which is a huge no no in hp building also copper is a better conducter so thats a debate about better spark i still havent found a better plug then the ngk bres for 3$ compaired to 20$

Or how come ill gap it alittle more??? If thats the case bigger gap =stronger spark = better burn (more power) but u can only gap to the limitations of your ignition system so its a trial and error in the begining

How come?

How come? Well son he has a habit of being a bit of a lead food and if he ran out of gas he will need a larger gap for that apple pie moonshine to lite proper. Everyone knows Honda's will run off of dang near everything river water. :p

Trying them as part of a series of changes made to improve cold starting. We will see. At any rate I did want to say that as other have experiences I received my NGK CR6EIA9 without nuts. Many plugs no longer have removable nut so you risk destroying the one you are trying to take it off of. Order them if you chose to go thay way with Iridium or be warned. Cheap not to include them.

They are awesome. We get plenty of snow where ai live and there is very little that this machine will not go through. I don't use them in summer have heard it can be hard on the bogies etc...
The gear ratio is quite different though so not real fast. If I were to do it again I would have gone for the 1000 instead of 700 but just for speed as the 700 has plenty o snot for anything.
Thanks
