So why do you say we can't use these magic plugs on our engines?

the automotive line for this plug is the ony thing in production. the threaded side is too long for piston clearance. the auto line has the capaciter built into the plug for perfect fit on the cars. Thats where the directhit comes into play for our small engines, which is kinda cool anybody can still use there origional plugs or fool around with diff plugs.They are not incorperating the capaciter into the small plugs yet |

I still say a good, name brand NON-RESISTOR plug and a good aftermarket cap and wire will do these bicycle motors a great service over "stock".
Keep in mind the non resistor plugs make better spark, but are annoying to those around you with T.V. or radios.

Yes... I think these ignitions are so cheesey that I don't want ANYTHING messing with them, like resistor plugs or running a light off the white wire... although many of you will say your bikes run just fine with them!
I also don't use those cool looking NGK motorcycle sparkplug boots anymore! (I found out they have a resistor in them too!)
Until I can figure out how to make those Honda parts work, I'm just using a non-resistor NGK plug, a MSD boot & clip, & a good wire.
They work OK..., but I'd like it to be better!

Alright I finaly tried the direct hit by pulstar, it made a little differance. Will have to keep in mind I havent checked my plug to see how my oil mix was, I know that I am running a little rich at this altitude havent jetted the carb yet. currantly runing on a 40 tooth. I can see a differance on the mid range more responce, and power. I am not running any extra stuff on my ignition just for spark only. It was also raining this weakend to. |

Itsbeen fives days and about 40 miles of airends. this thing seems to have blown it self out. I havent done any porting no modes just ignition. I've been pretty lucky with my gut feeling on the pulstar gig. I started out with a 52 tooth bike had lots of tork, but just screamed with too much rpms at 18 miles an hour. Then put the stock 44 on wow whole new word but to many rpms at 25 tork seem perfect! Now the 52 was very jerky trying to idle across a parking lot the 44 was much smoother still jerky. Finally got a 40 from andy from inchville [great craftmanship seemed a shame to put it on the bike to see it get a single cratch] I put this thing on whent with a bearing idler no more jerking through parking lots very smooth. However bike just lost its bite power was very dissapointing. Now what I want to say as the engine blew out over these few days It almost runs stronger than the 44 config. I am quit happy with the direct hit from pulstar this thing has never run this good. Gets up to 30 miles an hour quik very smooth at 28 to 29. Just woundering if anybody else has tryed these yet? curious to here input this has been my experiment. One more last ? Its my assumption that running these cdi's on anything with resistince will eventually short out the cdi, because electricity is allways looking for ground. If it gets an easier path it will take it. Now I can see where loading up the cdi with a silicone cable or resister plug could get a hotter spark, dos'nt seem worth it. I'am using a maga size wire like for car amplifiers its of a fine strand design, and screwed into the cdi perfectly. sodered the outher side seems lovy dovy!  |

one more reply the service writer installed a set of pulstars on his 90 Toyota 4x4. Today he said his truck, for he can remmember never ran better. Now I'am not a rep for these guys but so far I do dig these things, and from what I'm assuming this direct hit will out live a few motors |

A resitstor plug kills your spark, a good wire helps it.
