Thank you California

 My friend Larry in California suggested I try these Plugs

NGK 7627 Non resister Copper Core BP5EY

They did the trick all though I had a moment after 50 miles where I had to change them. So re-gapped at 18 thou and have been great since. Still a Bitch to start warm though after a 50 miles.

The current recipe is two pumps iggy off - 3 wide open throttle kick throughs and kick the bitch. 

Does not like the neat petrol it seems but wants it too! 

The NGK and Champion cause my Digital speedo to go haywire!

but the Autolite doesn't. Guess which ones are true non resister plugs.

The Champions were great too but as you can see are longer and cause a ignition advance

I guess they burn the mixture earlier in the chamber.

But less cough from carb and bang and pop on overrun

They had a moment too after the previous sundays 50 mile run and had to change them out.

Since then Ive run The NGKs

 A friend passed last year and found this in her garden

 cleaned it up

 and now on Christine

 On test around Suffolk -Butley

The Lowdown - Suffolks Chop and Rod event

les boujis

The obsolete Champion N 14 LY has changed everything for me

I can only think that its because it is 5mm longer and is a hotter plug

Results so far:

Ignition  advanced ( have to retard mag to start, usually can get away with kicking on full advance)

No coughs  on closed or small throttle from Super E carb

(which is usually a pain and only partially solved by going up sizes on intermediate jet)

Very reduced Pop and bang on closed throttle overrun from exhaust

So it seems I get a better burn on the fuel chamber

The only issue I guess with hotter plugs is the engine could overheat

BUT

It starts hot one kick

Trying today after 50 miler and  starting at a gas station after fill up 

But so far its like having the old points/coil ignition back on for starting - but a rocket when running - big difference

 they call this Glamping

a cross between camping and glam
