ngk plugs

[Big John]

Had NGK's in my '70 'cuda and it was forever fouling brand new plugs the Lawson has been doing the same thing of late and continued to do so after fitting new ones will be trying out Densos from now on.

I had always used NGK's in the past as they were the byword for quality plugs in the 80's. When I bought the old gurl she was running like a bag o shite, with the plugs breaking down for a passtime. After following advice on here I tried Denso plugs and though I bought 2 sets the second are still in the box. The old gurl has been smoking like a bastard and the plugs are caked in crap but she still started easily ' til I stripped her down in an effort to make her give up her nasty habit!

I bought my Denso's from http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/index.htm who were cheap as chips and offered a great service.

I have only heard one positive comment about NGK plugs on this forum. The author claims 4 strokes don't foul plugs ... young healthy ones don't, but old ones can. Perhaps the poster has more time and money than the rest of us and can afford to keep his classic four stroke in perfect condition. I got a lot of pleasure riding my old gurl before I had the time to take her off the road for a rebuild, just as well I found some plugs that would work in the short term!

I have on?y had one denso foul uo on me and that was because it got really wet
I dried it out and away it went again
I will ignore the ranting?s of Mr Know nothing

I have always used NGK, with no problems,[in a wide variety of bikes], until the last couple of years, when i seem to have had a few "duds".
Will certainly give ND a go when i need replacements.
Can only speak from experience.

i had this deal with the z13 i have and when you have got 6 dead plug for the bin in one shot its no joke on the pocket .i was told through the 13 club site to go to the next hotter plug of ngk but even they said to try denso.ive not realy had much of this trouble with the 9 apart from crap fuel at the start of each summer ,but thats down to me .

For anyone wishing to know exactly what plug is required, despite plug manufacturer, here is a very hand 'XLS' cross reference spreadsheet that lists almost every plug known to man! Just save it to your hard drive for future reference.

All i'll say on this matter is NGK ain't as good as they used to be....!

piglet, where,s my denso,s

[london calling]

Kenny,I got through a couple of sets of NGK's when running up my Lawson a few years back.
I only got 1 run out of each set and then they were f###ed out.
As I'd fitted new plugs,I assumed it must be a fault elsewhere and then tried to find a non-existent problem.
As i'd always used NGK since being a nipper,I ordered some more NGK as the factors who supply my mate stock DENSO and NGK are order only.
2nd set of NGK,fired up,switch off motor,then f###ed out again.
Then I got a set of DENSO and happy days
A mate of mine runs a car garage and he's now on DENSO as well after trouble with NGK.

Knut, They're in me new RedZed

Ignore all this hype Mike, those NGK's I sent are the real deal, top quality plugs I'm doing you a favour really

After 2 x cock-ups via the post, last one delivery mans fault I've given up with the post

Please accept this PUBLIC appology and acknowledgement that I still owe u 4 x Denso plugs If any of you Oirish chaps are over to the York Rally, and can deliver a set of plugs to Knut, let me know & I'll bring 'em up at the end of MAY

PS: As an long time user of NGK, since summer time I have converted to LEMMING mode and now only use Denso, the IRIDIUM tipped wire plugs, not cheap ?40 a set, but peice of mind

[Steve S]

[Geoff Meager]

If you F*****g lot would frigging use your bikes instead of talking obout them...maybe the wotevername plugs would work....
I've been using NGK's for 30+ years ......with no probs
