    Mitch, thank you for the easy to understand and follow videos.
    I changed my spark plug with an iridium spark plug and I instantly noticed the difference on my Ruckus.
    Thanks again for your awesome vids!

      Hello
      When you changed the spark plug did the threads of the old plug have oil on it?

    • @Blessed_4_life
      @Blessed_4_life Před 4 lety

      Brian Giemza - I did not notice any oil on the threads of my old spark plug. It could just be a bad or worn out O-Ring on your old spark plug. I would clean the threads around the engine where you screw in the plug and then check the new spark plug after a few rides to see if it happens again.

      Thanks for the information. I called the dealer they said this is normal. I still dont believe them. The 2019 ruckus was used with only 100 miles on it. I'm hoping the oil was just from the dealership tune-up. Maybe the mechanic put the oil on the plug for lubrication/seizing up. They said they checked everything over. But like you said, I cleaned the plug and will drive it for a while and check it again. Thanks

    • @Blessed_4_life

      Brian Giemza I would take it back to the dealer If you notice oil on the threads of your new spark plug after a couple days of riding your Ruckus.

    Good job and I change each year the spark plug with a new one, that is, every spring at the beginning of the season change the oil in the engine oil to the spark plug and of course the gasoline filter

    I just tried to put in a new spark plug, but it won’t screw in all the way. As I was turning it I noticed it started messing up the threads. Any ideas? It is 100% the right spark plug. Thanks advance.

    So I replaced the spark plug but I still cant start it with the button. I hear it clicking but it won't start. I've been using the Kickstart. Did i do something wrong? Or is it because it has been getting colder out here

    Mitch, My 2018 Ruckus drains the battery without recharging. Could it be the spark plug or something else? The new battery lasted a couple months then not starting even with kickstart.

      .036" but it is pre-gapped from the factory anyway.

    Hey this is kinda a question for everyone out there with a ruckus or really any small engine I got a ruckus the other day and I checked the oil and it smells a bit like gas could that be because of the spark plug

      Reid check your spark plug sometime. I just bought one 4 weeks ago and I pulled the spark plug and found oil on the threads of the plug. I'm trying to find info if this is normal. Maybe it came from the factory that way.
