Went to 3 different part stores looking to get the NGK B5HS plug. Not one of them had it... and they couldn't figure how to look it up without application info. [Chinese Crappy Bike Motor wasn't in their computer]
So since Amazon.com seems to have everything in the world, I gave it a shot. Yep, they have them. Even got them for free shipping with my prime account. Here is a link to the B5HS:
Amazon.com: NGK B5HS Standard Spark Plug: Automotive
There is a compatibility chart on that link on that page as well in case you want to go to your parts store and order up this plug .. it fits Corvair and VW applications. [Couldn't get the table to format and post here]
Plug wires was another sore spot. All the 8mm wires you can eat, but nothing really in 7mm. I ordered up this $11 performance wire set and will chop it up for use on bikes.
Amazon.com: Accel 3009 SuperStock 7mm 3000 Series Copper Universal Spark Plug Wire Set: Automotive
As I have heard on the board, the cables screw directly into the coil on the threaded stud. What I had not heard is that the plug end also threads onto the wire with a threaded stud. So just cut your wire to length, screw on the old plug end, then thread it into the coil.
Got some of these fuel filters too by the way...1/4 inch ends and they seem fairly small. Amazon.com: K&N 81-0221 Fuel Filter: Automotive
I think the fuel filter is priced a tad high, but I'll keep shopping around for a good solution here.
I've sponged a bunch of knowledge from this board and just thought I'd give a little something back.
