    on friday on my way home from work my ped broke down just as i was coming down my road.
    it was just like it ran out of fuel,

    1 week ago:
    i rebuilt this ped, new cylinder, piston, plug, small end, rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, new mani.

    fired up and ran a dream!!

    so today i decide to see if i can locate problem.
    spark YES
    fuel YES
    compression YES

    not much else a two stoke needs???? any way after much fucking about 5 hours later, i decide to try the original plug while i try a bit of easy start, BANG IT GOES! put the new plug in (that sparks if u put it to earth), no start!
    old plug runs like a dream!!

    i can say in my 10years of messing about with bikes iv never had a faulty NGK plug

    im assuming under compression it must open a contact and left me sparkless

    anyway with a brand new plug its fine now and the rope is back in the shed

    RANT OVER!
