bass_stalker Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 i know its not pertaining to a car but my question is why would my spark plug have no gap and lots of little metal bbs getting jammed into it. its on a 2003 yamaha blaster. i can ride it for a bit then it just dies out. so would it be overheating. a bad plug. piston or valve damage or something worse.

MikeF Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sounds like you are running extremely lean, those metal pieces are most likely from the piston! Double check the oil injection pump to make sure it is working, they are known to fail on the blasters, if it has already been removed make sure you are running 32:1 oil/gas mix or richer, if that doesn't help try rejetting the carb. Other than that try searching on some of the atv forums, they have helped me loads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibld92 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 is the plug the correct size? my buddy had a similar problem and his plug was too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM Customs aka mprete Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 its the wrong plug. its to long and the piston is hitting the end of the plug and smashing it and thats pieses of the piston getting shipped off. if you dont get the right one you can crack the piston and throw it through the head. go to yamaha and get the right one.

chewie Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 not true mr.pete.. if it was hitting the end would be completly destroyed.. if its little round balls of metal. he is detonating/running too lean and is seriously messing shit up. if you have metal on the sparkplug its too late.. pull the jug off the motor and re ring/new piston. rebuild the carb. eliminate the oil injection and run premix..

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 he said when he pulled it out there is no gap.... i assumed that meant the end was smashed... i could be wrong...

chewie Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 when detonation happens the cylinder temps get so hot they melt aluminum "the spatter hes getting" if cylinder made contact the top of the spark plug would be completely SCREWED.
