Great video !!! Love the father Son duo and you’re able to film and explain in detail. Great video you guys
@@richhomieblack1472 thanks for watching rich homie!
Good lesson. I've seen also someone left the spark plug with the blackened part in white vinegar ober night and then sprayed it with a cleaner and became like new.
Thanks for sharing this marge!
Great video, thank you for posting. Will this procedure work well on iridium spark plugs?
I use this process on all spark plugs. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video. Looks cold outside!!
It was definitely cold out when we filmed this! Thanks for watching!
Great information. I just buy new ones each season but maybe I will do your method in front of someone I want to impress.
George Qualls this method works wonders. Thanks again for watching!!
Cheers for this thank you
Rock on Paul!
Sorry for the dumb question but do you need to e careful brushing the plug? Does the brushing pressure not affect the gap on the plug?
Great question Steve. Brushing it will not affect the gap. You really have to push Dow very hard to bend it out of place. I also have done a video on gapping spark plugs. So if it ever is out of gap it’s an easy fix. Thanks for watching!
You are a patient and really good mentor. I just tried this with my car. I didn’t use heat but I just used sand paper to clean the oil and carbon deposit off and my car starts up great now
Thank you! There are a couple ways to do this procedure! The only device that I tried cleaning spark plugs with was this box with sand in it. A lot of it got stuck in the plug. Had to throw one away. That box was junk. Other than that, clean plugs make a world of a difference! Thanks for watching James!
i realize I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream new series online?

Someone was touting heat-cleaning plugs to me yesterday..Odd. I've never had to heat up a plug to clean it. I've used the same Champion spark plug on my mower for 28 years now and only ever wire brushed it about a dozen times to clean it up. Mower works fine. Anyone else?
blipblip88 I found it to burn up any gunk on them. Your method works great too. Thanks for watching.
Heat is to burn the oil off and out of the pores of the porcelain
I like that you made the kid do it ..
Kids need to learn this stuff! 👍
For the past 15 years I've simply cleaned the OEM spark plug on my Toro Lawnmower with a bit of steel wool soaked in WD-40 and finished with emery paper on the hook, lead and seat..not a problem yet!
blipblip88 all good stuff there! I haven’t paid for a spark plug in a long time! Thanks for watching!
How long you let it soaked in the WD-40?

Great video... my spark plugs were fouled due to running a catless downpipe and piggyback tune.. usually getting running lean to bank 1 check engine light code. I used the recommended HKSM45XL plugs ..the dealership cleaned my plugs and since had the catless downpipe removed since my car needed more backpressure to run efficiently. Would you have any recommendations to deter fouled plugs in the future as i am planning to get a high flow downpipe?
Hey mwilliams, this procedure is meant more for small engines. It could work for cleaning car spark plugs too. As far as your question goes I recommend running this by a car mechanic for their thoughts on this. This is outside my area of expertise. Thanks for watching!
@@GarageGear thank you I appreciate it
JB, are you using map gas to heat plug?
Just a simple propane tank hand torch by bernzomatic! Here’s a link to one! amzn.to/3HAGaps
"Looks pretty cool?" Hell, no, it's red hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
usernamemykel you bet that thing was red hot lol!!! Thanks for watching!
I don't have a blow torch so i'll use the coke and salt method
Reginald Brown cool thanks for watching!
Can you not just wipe it down with a rag or cloth beacus idk what to do with mine as I don’t have a heat thing
Wiping them down with a rag won’t fully remove the carbon build up on them. Heating them up does a great job. I’ve seen some tools that sand off the material. And those work ok by some sand can get stuck in the end of the spark plug which could cause a problem. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@GarageGear thanks
@@Luca-ds6sz no problem bud!
hardly anybody knows thebrst to clean a spark plug making it shin has nothing to do with it firing right i use a sim;ple plug blaster from harbor freight less than 20 $$$ had it for years about 100 psi iinsert the dirty plug it clean as new inside where it counts the carbon buildup can only be seen with a volt ohm meter set on its hightest scale if connect one lead to top and the other to the bottom (hook) if you get any reading the plug is dirty that is the least resistance to ground threw that carbon the tester will clean that mess out till you get no reading its good as new then try it ps alwas hold blaster vertical with plug on top to clean it woras good horizonal it the way its made inside it the loscation of the hole the media (sand ) flows thru i hope this helps some one to use a meter to see dirt
Frank Davidson thanks for watching!
Do you torch the white part of the plug or just the metal?
Just the metal Hugo! Thanks for watching!
Good advice if i had a whole ass vice grip, blow torch and air compressor 🙁
Thanks for watching
Break cleaner will break that carbon up.
Good tip! Thanks for sharing leatherneck!
Sheesh glad I have 16 to clean 😂
Won’t take you too long! Line a bunch up in the vice, heat em up, and wire brush them together! Thanks for checking out my channel Jeep wk5.7!
@@GarageGear will do thanks!
you saved my wallet
Mission accomplished! Thanks for watching Jacob!
does Holden need a job ?
ED EDMUND Hey Bud, he may have a job but he wanted to help me out with a TH-cam video and start learning this stuff. He’s a cool kid. Thanks for watching!
He already has one…holdin’ tools! 🥴
HIGHLY NOT RECCOMENDED. The carbon fouling in spark plugs is natural but accelerated through rich fuel conditions. End point is that it’s been worn down, the node is most likely deteriorated.
Thanks for watching!
You say “highly not recommended” like doing this is going to blow the motor up. If you do this and it doesn’t work, just go buy a new one. Lots of things in life aren’t they serious man.
Man you can use a lighter..your over doing it
It’s not a TH-cam video if you’re not overdoing it lol! Thanks for watching!
