Can a spark plug be used as a decompression valve?
That’s one of Fred’s. He’s a seller here and the other site and will be coming out with a decompression port head. I invented this idea in my head earlier today, only to find that someone else has already made it. It allows you to use your spark plug opening for double duty, adding decompression capability.
What should the spark plugs on a motorcycle look like?
Your motorcycle’s spark plugs can be very useful to diagnose running conditions in your engine. You can use the burn color of your plugs and reference the plug color charts below to determine if your engine is running rich or lean. Good running conditions: If everything is good, the spark plug should have a tan/light brown color.
Can you have compression, spark, fuel, and air but not go?
You can have good compression, ignition, and fuel and still not get a 2 cycle to pop off and run. If you have a major air leak into the crankcase, you will never get it to start and may never even get it to pop. Make sure there are no air leaks around anything that attaches to the crankcase and that the top and bottom seal are in place.
How to add a decompression valve without modifying your engine?
Just beautifully designed compression release systems. I thank both of you for bringing these beautifully designed compression release solutions to my attention. Another option would be to buy a twin-plug head (also expensive) and put your decompression valve in one of the spark plug locations. Here’s a twin head that also has a built-in valve.
