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.
Can 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.
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...Dennis![]()
I 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.
I know I started this thread. drhofferber said he cracked a plug?
I 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.
This thing can hit up to 500 amps? I wouldn't want that to zap me!
