Hi all,
Still new to wrenching on my bike. I pulled my sparkplugs and they are pretty black. From reading the manual it looks like I need to run a "hotter" sparkplug, but I dont know that means. Anyways here are some pics of my sparkplug, hopefully you all can tell me whats going on. The bike runs, but my battery is being wonky, I just had to refill the cell with distilled water as they were drying out....but other than the low voltage on my batter I can kick it over. Bendix gear is worn so its kick only at the moment.
