What paper it is sandpaper and no you should not use that you should not scratch up the court or the receiver for the electrode you had it right with just the toothbrush. Soak it in gasoline or a little bit of engine degreaser and scrub! Some people use wire brushes if you do it better be a really soft bristle one your objective is to not scratch the core rod or the receiving finger scratches or imperfections on either surface will cause it to foul almost immediately! The carbon passes around the plugs hence the reason you are cleaning it! The scratchers will accumulate that carbon very fast! Not to mention those scratches will definitely affect your Gap! Just a little bit of information for you. My route no sandpaper no wire brush no scratches! It is carbon soak it in gasoline for about a hour scrub with toothbrush it should take all the carbon off if it doesn't a little engine Degreaser will with the same toothbrush. I recommend soaking for about an hour pull from gas spray with degreaser and scrub a toothbrush. When the plug is clean rinse it in your gasoline to remove any degreaser left on the plug. then check the gap and reinstall!
Its not your spark plug that needs cleaning you should adjust your engine afr its too rich plus you should use torque wrench when installing your sprk plug may you would not need to do that just a tip if you get it
I repair/restore old outboards..after De carbonating the combustion chamber and the first time firing the motor up it is almost guaranteed that the plug will get trashed quickly..i used to just replace them. Until I looked at my bucket of new dirty plugs...so..cleaning them is cost effective for me...i use carb or brake clean and air...but then I bought that cheap harbor freight blasting machine for the finishing touch...
Good video/info. For everyone saying it's a waste of time, go buy a new one; maybe you aren't near an auto parts shop. Or they're not open. Or maybe it's desperation alternative (on the road, no $, etc.). One constructive criticism; For me, the music was NOT an enhancement. If you're going to use music, it should be much more muted.
Anyone who has spent any time riding bikes, especially dirt bikes, has cleaned a few plugs. Especially on a 2 stroke. Miles from camp, off roading, no spare plug, and your bike craps out. You cleaned it and change it later. If you have a car with a V-8 plugs can run 5 or 6 bucks each. That's $40- $50 . So it could be worth cleaning them one time. Most people now days most people wouldn't know how to change a spark plug to save their life. The hive in a throw away world.
I used sandpaper the same as in this video untill i then discovered ny plugs are platinum coated, there now in the bin and a new set at £22 now fitted 😂😂
Tq..i have dbt there is hole to.put back spark ..in tat hole which oil present?? Nd is it req to pour certain oil.inside tat hole nd then to put back spark in tat??
For me i just use the sand paper the fine one and sand the the electrode of the sparkplug and i just wipe off the oil on the thread of sparkplug then put it back in again but if the sparkplug is already old or haven't been change for a while i recommend to change it already
Kerosene doest evaporate quickly so it might create issues if we install the plug if its not completely dried up so I would recommend you to use petrol or sparkplug cleaning to get the best result.
I have a 15 years old pulsar 150cc. All of a sudden my bike did not start one day so I changed spark plug and it started. I was out of station for 2 weeks and after I got back I used the bike for around 20km and now again bike is not starting. What could be the issue? How does carbon gets into spark plug and could it has to do with engine oil. It's been a while since I changed and since I use my bike little and mechanic said it was good. Please advice.
I have used it for more than 4 to 5 yrs and have still kept someware at home see It will just have an extra life than normal spark plug. If you are looking for that strong spark than you need the high power spark plug cable and strong stator plate to produce strong spark which is an additional cost and still you might not be able to a vast performance it may get your eingen heated a bit. Normal spark plug is best belive me👌.
2 minutes, 4 seconds of this video . The petrol is changing colour because it dissolved the copper slip from threads . In literally seconds after submerging it in petrol. As petrol is good to dissolve grease. But I never seen I could dissolve carbon. However flame does burn the carbon deposits off. But you have to be careful not to overheat them.
This is totally unnecessary,i add lucas fuel treatment combined with lucas ethanol treatment,a generous amount..This is how i do it,when there is like less than a quart of gas left in the tank i start the engine and when it is hot i add a couple of ounces of that lucas stuff..This really works,no kidding..do it and when the gas runs out,fill it up with gas and run it for a mile or so and remove the spark plug and check it out...i have ngk spark plugs on 3 different bikes that i have used for 5 years..I remove them.occassionally and there is nothing to clean there..I regularly put my lucas treatment in the gas..Lucas fuel treatment for lubricity and to increase the octane and lucas ethanol treatment to neutralize the alcohol effect in the combustion.This ethanol contains a lot of water..Not good,even if its premium.it still has water in it,and leaves ashes in the form of carbon deposits
13k to 15k ... mine was changed after 14k coz it got faulty so. You can also change after 10 to be at a safer side or carry a spare one until you feel you have some major issues.
I have me doing this since 10yrs without any issues ... did you let it dry you spark plug after cleaning it? Or you installed it immediately and how old you spark plug was? Coz i am doing the same since years infact my friends all the local mechanic follow the same steps and we have never come across such issues.
lol . How come . mayb i installed befre it dried properly . but i kept in the sunlight for about 5 to 10 minutes . .maybe i shud have wait for hours or? and ya my plug was one month old
Instead of cleaning an expensive spark plug, you need to figure out why your bike is running so rich. Having the bike at proper tune is a better way of making more power and better fuel economy.
Just like your video would be a lot better if you speak better English what did you use to clean the spark plug with and how did you clean the engine where the spark plugs goes back in?
First of all thank you so much for watching my video...see cleaning with salt and water is all nonsense even I have seen that video with millions of views that person is just miss guiding us. the reason why it's not recommended is because metel with salty water can easily catch rust its common sense and it's scientifically proven we shouldnt use water with salt to clean any metel part. please search it and see it on Google if u have any doubt. The other reference he gave is that it will increase conductivity by giving reference of earthing whivh we do at home to ground the electricity. See we are talking about bike the earthing is given directly on metel part of the bike and not on a actual earthcrust... I can give u more example to expose him and I was planning it to do then I just left it.. However i think I should make a video on this very soon.
When in a pinch in the middle of no where every trick, or hack is another tool in the tool box and is appreciated. However, when the spark plug reassembles a glow plug from a Diesel engine. The tune is to blame! Whether it's a internal, or external engine issue needs to be established. Assuming the engine has no major issues. Judging by the looks of your glow plug spark plug your tune is to rich. Carburetor jetting is to rich (fat).. Possibly a hotter plug might clean up the excessive carbon build up.. Perhaps, grabbing gears and passing queers might do the trick as well.. However, nothing can be established without a new plug, or at very least one with zero deposits off of the electrode inside the plug by using a plug sand blaster.. By not removing carbon deposits off the electrode will create excessive carbon build up, oil contamination, and a lazy shitty performance! Remember, Lean is Mean when making Horse Power just don't get greedy!!
this method is lame, if you really want to clean your spark plugs go spend $25 for a pneumatic plug cleaner or if you have a hand held sand blaster just use it, takes under a minute per plug and they get a lot cleaner then using this method, I probably clean a half dozen or more motorcycle plugs every week with my hand held sand blaster for my kids and the other kids in the neighborhood and I haven't had to buy any new spark plugs in a couple years
This is obviously another country, they might not have the resources that america or canada or England would have. And if they have less sparkplug options... Then its gonna cost a lot more than $3.50
Official noob player yt It depends on you car/bike. I have 6 iridium in my car any they are £20 each, supposedly long service life of 60k miles but something like this video could be done every 10k if they needed

Good video straight to the point and very informative

Good idea, I've not used petrol/gas yet. Also check to see make sure your battery is strong and tune your carburetor to run more efficiently

Thanks again for such a great review keep it up all your videos are helpful and easy to understand
Totally gone black, reminds me of my 1st wife
Damn
She went Back to BLACK 😍🥴
Worked great for me as a kid thanks great video
Just cleaned my spark plug. Works. Thanks 🙏
Persa
Tq..i have dbt there is hole to.put back spark ..in tat hole which oil present?? Nd is it req to pour certain oil.inside tat hole nd then to put back spark in tat??
No you don't have to do nothing with that no oil to be pour in that otherwise it will creat problems.
For me i just use the sand paper the fine one and sand the the electrode of the sparkplug and i just wipe off the oil on the thread of sparkplug then put it back in again but if the sparkplug is already old or haven't been change for a while i recommend to change it already
How to clean the engine part of the spark plugs
With dry cloth
U have to open it first
Thank...good video....i try this its make more easy to start the engine cuz your motor same as me..😄😄😄😄😄
Cam i use kerosine for clean ??
Kerosene doest evaporate quickly so it might create issues if we install the plug if its not completely dried up so I would recommend you to use petrol or sparkplug cleaning to get the best result.
nice one Shak. keep going
Not bad information but u have also show how to clean spark plugs socket and how we measure the gap
Use E3 spark plug they need no gaping and burn better and don’t build up as much carbon as normal spark plugs do and they last longer to.
Grate job bro... Your are doing well. And all the best.
I have a 15 years old pulsar 150cc. All of a sudden my bike did not start one day so I changed spark plug and it started. I was out of station for 2 weeks and after I got back I used the bike for around 20km and now again bike is not starting.
What could be the issue? How does carbon gets into spark plug and could it has to do with engine oil.
It's been a while since I changed and since I use my bike little and mechanic said it was good. Please advice.
Try using steel brush or diesel
Can you clean it with diesel?
Look at his fingers always use protective equipment, ie rubber gloves.
Sand paper Not good for irradium spark plugs
Bro Carbon Deposited on spark plug cause Starting problem ?
Its a pretty bad idea to use sandpaper on spark plugs. Must not do that. Just use cleaning agent and soft brush.
Recommendations for irridium plug for my suzuki GS 150 r
I have used it for more than 4 to 5 yrs and have still kept someware at home see It will just have an extra life than normal spark plug. If you are looking for that strong spark than you need the high power spark plug cable and strong stator plate to produce strong spark which is an additional cost and still you might not be able to a vast performance it may get your eingen heated a bit.

@@MOTOMENTOR Thank you for your information I ll keep it.👍
Sir Can we use wd40 instead of petrol
Yes you can absolutely go for it.
Very Informative....Keep up the great work...
3:17 what is the grit of the sandpaper?
Thank you 🙏
very excellent
Keep up the great work...
Very useful
Hey master, After cleaning the spark plug, You didn't show how to clean the engine part where the spark plug fits
Assalawalaikum Mosin Planning to make a video very soon. Stay tuned and thanks for watching my video😉👍
Wa'alaikum Assalam dear MOTO MENTOR , thanks for your efforts, waiting for the video.
Yes. I too would like to see that as the cleaning that part seems risky as the dirt may fall back into engine..
Do mechanics clean the engine part where the spark plug fits , wg«hen they change plugs, fukidot
No background music
Awesome keep em comming

Very good video
is it normal to have a little bit of oil in the thread only of a sparkplug like yours?
Yes it's normal
Nice work awesome video
i need to spark plug gap adjustment tool
Good way to clean it....
Nice also u can clean electrode with salt also......
Pls make more videos ☺️ ..
Hi Paul, next video is under editing will upload it very soon.
MOTO MENTOR Thank you😊
I do the same thing, use my urine sample and a toothbrush.
Urine sample? R u serious 🤣😂
Great work bro 💯💯😍😍
NICE VIDEO :)
Please stop the background music
I never clean my sparkplugs I replace them with new ones
Clean it when you need to check the carburator in this case that sparkplugs still good!!!!!!
It's called HT lead my friend
good one mate ...
how about using break cleaner instead?
I use carb cleaner but brake cleaner should do the trick
How about Rubbing alcohol?can it be used?
Brakleen or Brake cleaner is probably better.

need to tuneup bro..your plug reading is rich..
Nice
approximately how many kilometers does a spark plug last?
13k to 15k ... mine was changed after 14k coz it got faulty so. You can also change after 10 to be at a safer side or carry a spare one until you feel you have some major issues.
I don't clean I replace with new
CHEONG KC money waste
@@carmelgimenez620 but it not the best for the engine
knowlegable very goog
Nice video
Only useful when a person needs their last $ to buy gasoline or in your case, petrol.
wait i clean my plug with petrol and now its damaged . my bike didn't start . only aftr i replaced it started .
I have me doing this since 10yrs without any issues ... did you let it dry you spark plug after cleaning it? Or you installed it immediately and how old you spark plug was? Coz i am doing the same since years infact my friends all the local mechanic follow the same steps and we have never come across such issues.

and ya my plug was one month old
Instead of cleaning an expensive spark plug, you need to figure out why your bike is running so rich. Having the bike at proper tune is a better way of making more power and better fuel economy.
You could just buy a new one for like 3 tops
After clean the spark plug, you need to tune-up your carb.
why tho
@@Jetski1337 because it's running too rich.
Just like your video would be a lot better if you speak better English what did you use to clean the spark plug with and how did you clean the engine where the spark plugs goes back in?
Use coke instead. Works way better. Soak overnight.
😂Strangely I used a tin cocacola with a bit of washing powder left for 4 hours then brushed with a metal brush. It worked
That was too strange man 🤣
Someone told that the plug be cleaned using salt for better conductivity. Is that true and advisable ?

Dumbass
Salty water can cause corrosion on the metal
why not just replace the plug? you waste 1-hour cleaning this thing, A new one is less than 100 bux??
When in a pinch in the middle of no where every trick, or hack is another tool in the tool box and is appreciated.

The tune is to blame!

good work done
You also take your spark plugs to the dentist?
Too loud music
Damm that was a tight ass spark plug
Clean it for urgently is worthed
The plug in the video did not need "cleaning" Just replace with a new one. This is to much sugar for a dime
Its the worst Cleaning spark plug ive ever seen. The best way is using a brass brush and a fire burner.
this method is lame, if you really want to clean your spark plugs go spend $25 for a pneumatic plug cleaner or if you have a hand held sand blaster just use it, takes under a minute per plug and they get a lot cleaner then using this method, I probably clean a half dozen or more motorcycle plugs every week with my hand held sand blaster for my kids and the other kids in the neighborhood and I haven't had to buy any new spark plugs in a couple years
This is the best solution.I give faith on it,
Not everyone have toolkits like you do.
👍
New spark plug ka cost kitna he
100 ke aspass
What a cheap guys.. Just buy new one and replace it..
Your gas isn't clear like in the usa
running rich may want to find out why, and put a new plug in it
spark plugs are $3.50 each. Not worth the time and effort cleaning them, only to replace them a few months later.
This is obviously another country, they might not have the resources that america or canada or England would have. And if they have less sparkplug options... Then its gonna cost a lot more than $3.50
Itsonly cost 1.5 dolar or maximum 2
Official noob player yt It depends on you car/bike. I have 6 iridium in my car any they are £20 each, supposedly long service life of 60k miles but something like this video could be done every 10k if they needed

Man it's the same sparkplug believe it or not.

Yes
wtf is that petrol ?

Uh... What the hell kinda fuel is that... Kinda looks like kerosene. That would explain the oiling of the plug.
It's petrol. He said himself.
