long story short....I had bad gas ( big suprise eh?)

So I drained the fuel out of the VNA, cleaned out the carb, put a new plug in and it dies after 10 seconds, pulled plug, plug is fouled, repeat 4 more times ( with new plugs everytime)

Cross reference on the web and find I have a bosch plug that is a direct swap, first kick and it starts, runs like a dream, rev the shit out of it, ride around the block 10 times no issue. Go back in garage, find every NKG plug I have an toss them all...

Yes John C, you were right....again!

SIP sells Bosch plugs. Maybe over the winter we could organize a group buy and lay in a supply.

Dunno what it is. Two identical vehicles and one chokes on NGKs and the other doesn't! I spoke with their tech rep and they acknowledged the problem. It does not apply to their higher end platinum and iridium plugs.
