I had heard of this from bike tuners , they referred to it as indexing the plug . Hope it's a success for you .

Hi, thanks for the video. What about BP 8 ES sparkplug? Is it safe for a standard lambretta? Any chance that it hits the top of the piston?

Very interesting Steve like you I've read articles on this but always took it with a pinch of salt. But just goes to show!!! Oh just a quick question is this bike runing a 12 volt system?

Any thoughts in using the Iridium tipped plugs Steve?

Irridium plugs are standard fitment on many engines and have a 90000 mile service life. On vintage bikes they make a huge difference as they operate at a much lower voltage so compliment the old ignition systems. Brings a villiers 250 twin to life.

On a normal engine there's no point in doing this just the standard plug at the correct gap is fine , I am running a high tuned engine and it helps maintain the spark at high load .

Steve; I'm not impressed with the Lambretta head chamber design. Have you tried Yamaha RD350 head. Very good as standard from the get-go. adjust for clearance. Honestly I'd ditch that head mate. Funny if you gained 5 HP from my simple advice huh. Additional copper washer added to the plug. As you marked the plug; mark the socket similarly; so you can see as you're tightening = faster. Also don't shine the LED torch in the camera.

No it doesn’t quite work like that with combustible gases and having studied this and heat transfer and ignition of gaseous products this is NOT correct - at all.
