It was the Outperformance Shop site the link sent me to. Added to cart then hit the ship cost thing to 98632 (wash st) and it said 24.95 shipping, total was 59 something. It seemed like something was wrong to me too.
To me, $35 seems a bit pricey considering that's about 1/4 of what a complete kit runs now. I added a Bosch plug and a accel plug wire to my bike and I have more than enough power and that upgrade cost me $12.
KEEP IT SIMPLE...I tried those plugs...they where great, but it cracked after 3 weeks of riding...used Aimsol...went back to pennsoil 2 stroke after blowing 2 engines...once you get past the addicton...you'll enjoy your bike more...have fun...DennisCan you pm back:
How does the accel plug wire attach to the engine. Is it a little metal ring that a bolt goes through, or slide connector etc? Can this help a Grubee Skyhawk 48? Mine is new, but I will research small upgrades and replacements because I plan to ride it to work at least 100 days a year.
I have tried hotter spark plugs on lawn mowers, that were made for ATV or ski-doos. It worked hella good, but the electrode eroded somewhat quickly compared to common plugs.

my bike ran its best with saber amsoil...and fastest...opti 2 is the rage now...breakin is important...pennsoil 2 stroke is my choice now...i used it in my cruiser and its still going...if your bike is put togeather sound, with little vibration and you do constant maintenance you'll be fine...my oil cocktail is 1 oz castor oil and 4oz pennsoil 2 stroke...these engines in my opinion are not percision engines...so why treat them like that...just have fun...Dennis...oh and if you blow them up for 60 dollars you have a new engine...I had a bearing pressed on at Pep Boys and it cost me 75 bucks for 15 minutes of work????haI will only enjoy it every day that it starts easy and runs to and from work. If I have to pedal an 80lb beach cruiser with a backpack on, I'm going to cry all the way there, and be late.
I'm going for KISS with a Madwagon bike, new wheels, grubee 48cc legal size, and probably battery lights. (have a large supply of 7ah 12v batteries, and I use them in a walmart hiking fanny pack, with a curly cord and homemade lights)
I might try Normans Skull headlight.
I'm going for longevity and reliability. Can you direct me to threads about which oil to run on a Grubee Skyhawk. I planned to use Echo 50:1 since that was the best oil ever in all my commercial weedeaters. NEVER use homelite for anything, its garbage and will plug anything you put it in.
hey goat header...yes those plugs where great but the plug did crack on the porcilen...nothing against you...I'm back to basics...DennisI know I started this thread. drhofferber said he cracked a plug?
let me clarify something...i purchased the direct hit plug not the screw on...i'm sure the screw on is the way to go...like i said mine cracked after 3 weeks of riding but the performance was great...now i'll settle for JUST KEEP IT RUNNING..ha...have fun...bye the way how many miles do you have on the add on...DennisI have been using the Direct Hit attachment with good result. From everywhere I read the manufacturer dos not make a plug for small engines as they have not been able to get the capacitor into the porcelain on a small plug? Which had been fine by me cause then I get to use my favorite spark plug.
If you only had the plug for three weeks. I bet you could have gotten it warrantied. My direct hit attachment is on its second plug, no not from fowling just showed electrode where. Never had so called heat range issues either. Yet spark is hot enough to eat up the electrode faster than stock.
Know I am not pocking at you I am not even sure if that statement is true. Early on in this thread I stated and said he said etc. I just want the opinion from some folks that tried one. There I feel better now!This thing can hit up to 500 amps? I wouldn't want that to zap me!
