Spark Plugs
Hello, I have a 500 VHA. What spark plug have people found best. It has an NGK in it at present, B6HS, not sure if that is right. Any recommendations.

Re: Spark Plugs
A word to the wise - eB*y appears to be awash with counterfeit spark plugs, so whatever plugs you choose buy them from a reputable company.

I believe they call for a B6ES but in my VHA I use a B7ES

Re: Spark Plugs
I've always had good experience with the Green Spark Plug Company. You'll get genuine parts from them.

Re: Spark Plugs
I've heard several people say that the Brisk plugs are more soot-tolerant than others.

Re: Spark Plugs
See bottom of this page all the recomendations for Ariels https://draganfly.co.uk/product-categor ... ellaneous/ NGK plug code - 1st leter is diameter B=14mm, the number is the heat range, 2nd letter is length H=short reach, E=long reach, last letter S=super dooper wide range or something.

Re: Spark Plugs
Some heat numbers work the opposite way to others. IF your engine is "hotted up" use a colder plug. I do not recommend using "R" plugs or suppressor leads with a magneto equipped engine. Nev
