many years ago I had a single cylinder 185 suzuki 2 stroke that had 2 spark plugs in the head so if one fouled you could swap the lead to the other one for a fresh plug. But what I did was add another coil & lead to the second plug so both were firing & it made a huge difference way more low down power & always started so easy.
Not sure if you know this but the second sparkplug hole was originally for a decompression for easier start then it was found they didn't really need it so it was used as a spare plug,interesting how you hooked both up though that's pretty cool.
I did the same with a 500 Enfield! Removed decompression and fitted another plug,being that the thread profiles were identical. Fitted a dual output coil,ported the head and inlet,re jetted the carb and fitted a much less restrictive silencer. Gained a little in power,but the improvement in throttle response was huge. Made for a much sweeter and enjoyable ride.
@@g.g.6362 You would actually think it should cause knocking, as the wave front starts in 2 places at once. Maybe the oil in 2 stroke & the lower compression of worn engines.
the steady spark is because it connects the closest points. with the original the surfaces are parallel and spark can form anywhere between the parallel surfaces but will have the same power every time. With the side gap the location of the spark is constant and will wear the side of the electrode then the gap will increase. It is possible the flame will travel slightly better because it can spread in all directions initially but hard to tell if it helps without clear tests

For all the comments putting down his testing. This is simply some of the ways you get in the fast lane. Test and trail. If you don't like it just stay over there in the slow lane👍
I've been grinding my spark plugs since the 1960s, except the Iridium plugs. [Dodge D-50 2.6 5 spd.] I VASCAR tested 1/8 mile of 3 runs (averaged) & went from 14.25 to 13.75 seconds. My mpg's also went up. __ CHEERS 😉
Side spark in racing has nothing to do with the ground terminal blocking the combustion. When the spark "dances" it changes length and there fore temp. Racing calls for consistency of high performance precision at the cost of longevity. You electrode and ground post are going to concentrate all of the wear in one "laser" spot increasing gap wear quickly out of optimal range. Not an issue if you change them after every race.
I side gap my 2 stroke lawnmower spark plug, it stops fouling. My nieces husband came for a visit, his car wouldn't start so I removed the plugs, the outer electrode was almost completely burnt off so I gapped what was left re fitted them and it ran.
Good info dude! Now do research on indexing spark plugs. If you index them, you'll get the electrode facing directly at the fuel air mix when it enters the engine making even more power
The ignition has to be able to create the spark longer too. I used side gapped plugs in 2 stroke engines turning 20,000 rpm. But the pumper carbs had externally adjustable low and high speed jets .The plugs were alot foul resistant in 2 strokes for sure
For you to get anything from the plug if you got more consistent spark you would need to alter the gas and air mix because it most probably running lean and the plug is burning it up quickly and if that helps but doesn't solve problem change jets size for more fuel
If I had that xr100 and was desperate for more power I'd sell it and get the 400 as a step up or the 650r which is in my opinion the best enduro I've ever owned wish Honda would make them again
You can try to advance the cam by 1 tooth or 10 degrees. The stator coil pickup might be able to be modified so you can advance the timing a few degrees
Good answer it's unbelievable just how many people that will talk like they know everything but don't know anything. Reading your comment let me know that they're still ppl who have done it and know what to do.
I did this with a half clapped out plug on my Stihl backpack blower the other day and no shit..... Starts quicker every damn time now. One pull, always.
Find your high speed best mixture by getting some jets that are a little bigger and a little smaller than what you have stock. With no other mods on the bike tuning the carb will be best bet. Do the high speed tuning to determine jet size at full rpm. I will assume you need a smaller jet than what you currently have. Then set that needle up a position at a time until your revving from idle on up is the quickest it can be, ie, no bog. Do this and you will be surprised I think. Maybe after getting good air fuel ratios you can play with modded plugs. Good luck!
looking at your spark plug its fooled you need to adjust your mixture also keep the plug standard with the correct gap and also your carb is junk because the carb has the choke butterfly in the way at the rear that stops power chuck in bin by a cheap molkt brill carb that will fit and finaly change your sprocket up a tooth for higher top end 1 tooth less for more acceleration but less top end , you got to get the combos right .
The only way more spark will give you more power is if you’re dumping more fuel than can burn with original spark. But more fuel can’t burn without more air. The key to horsepower is air. That’s the first thing you need to gain power. Once you get more air in it you can add fuel. And unless you’re dumping a lot more fuel in it I’m sure your original spark can handle it. It is fun to try though lol. Keep at it young man.
Guys don’t do dumb shit with your spark plug, you only have 1 of 2 things, normal combustion and abnormal combustion If you have a problem then modifying a spark plug will not solve the problem An electrical engineer figured this out and TH-cam can’t make it better, if this mattered NGK would just make this plug and sell it to you BTW did you notice the spark jumping to ground without crossing the gap first, this plug has a carbon track on the porcelain which is likely the problem
I'm no expert but in order to gain power from firing you would have to change your stater and CDI and higher voltage coil. You can buy high performance cdi boxes and they will boost engine performance. I put a high performance cdi on my son's pit bike and it made a world of difference in the throttle response and cruising. It was so much smoother than the factory when I first started it I had to adjust the idle down cause it was idling 6 to 800 rpm more with no fuel change and when you held it at a constant rpm speed it so smooth. Also you can buy offset keyways to advance your timing. Just wanted to share for all the keyboard warriors saying that spark won't help performance clearly never set the timing on a small block or anything for that matter. Timing and spark are very important you could have the biggest baddest built engine in the world with the biggest fuel system but without proper timing and spark you have the worst performing engine. Also if you want better spark don't cut your plugs just go to the Auto parts store and get the hottest spark plug you can get in that size which will more than likely be a ngk or E3. The E3's are great plugs I noticed smoother engine idle etc with them especially in 2 strokes.
On a small bike engine with,let’s be fair, a small horsepower figure, there’s never going to be an magical and noticeable gain from a spark plug. It’s either going to work or not. What you’d be better doing is playing around with the timing of the spark and seeing what you lose or gain across your power curve. But if you love that bike and enjoy tinkering, drop in a larger lump. 👍
leave the spark plug alone, if the bike is not meant to have side spark spark plugs then there is a chance the engine will run hotter and you will burn your valves just like running a lean tune
For more power on the wheels you have to change the bike with bigger cc . No need to think about small modified thinks . It will not work . Other bike like competition models will please your demands :) Best regards ! :)
Keep on trying. Don't stop your curiosity. That's how we keep inventing ,thinking outside the box imagine if we stop after the cave man finished with the stone wheel.😅😅😅 thanks for your time to show the difference it makes just by simply cutting the gap a little at a time .
Better keep it cleaner than a surgeons scalpel with that tiny point of contact or you will get miss fire alot guys they aren't as reliable long term obviously
Also 10 more hp that's mental you won't be able to tell you have done this like saying if you leave your phone at home those weight savings will increase power too weight ratio and you will do power wheelies on your 125cc with ease
Also 1 more thing this is bloody dangerous the size of the gap increases the voltage needed too fire and the time to build that spark alters pre ignition will destroy your engine and later firing will remove hp
If your desperate for more power, and willing to possibly sack your topend. Tweak the pick up sensor mounted on the case and shift it a degree or 2 counter clockwise. I may blow you bike up if your running 87 octane fuel out of the pump. Get fresh 91 but only fill up your gas can after filling you car. About a gallon of 87 will probably sitting in the fuel hose on the gas pump.
91 in a low compression air cooled engine, what a waste. moving the sensor with 91 works better than not moving the sensor with 91 is because 91 burns slower than 87 so needs the spark to happen sooner for proper fuel burn. using high octane fuel in engines that dont need it will only help empty your wallet faster
@@bjorn1583 What your saying is wrong. All because it's air cooled, it's all the more reason to run higher octane. Your forgetting what actually matters, heat. Air cooled motor run far hotter than anything liquid cooled motor. Higher octane fuel has a higher flash point than regular 87. When you're advancing the timing, the motor is going to detonate with cheap fuel. Your just asking to blow up a bike.
@@bjorn1583 and you misread my comment is seems. I'm TELLING him to move the sensor. Not just run 91. You're not really making a point here. You sort of talking out of you A$$
@@ncopp4358 ALL air cooled engines run on low octane fuel for a reason and high compression is what causes low octane fuel to detonate not the timing. I didnt misread your comment but your comment showed you dont know what your talking about and your reply proves 100% without a doubt you dont have a clue on what you are talking about. and you say I'm talking out my a$$, your a joke and always will be and your uneducated comments prove it
Don’t do what he does he doesn’t know much about bikes he like to ride them cause now he sending bad advice to people that don’t know a lot about bikes there is more ways to add hps to your bike without touching the plug
You have a high compression race bike his is a low compression trail bike yours has little room for error his has a lot that’s a very short explanation or your issue could be completely unrelated so idk your loss I geuss 😢
What happened is you decided to listen to someone who experiments bikes to see what happens! You just wanted power not an experiment so this being said you should ask how to add horsepower properly not do dumb things that cost you! Good luck rebuilding your bike!
I could not bear to watch at 4:17 all the muck around the open spark plug hole ready to drop right into the cylinder...use compressed air or a soft brush to clean that area before removing plug, please!.
I dont think cutting a plug does do anything. As long as the fuel gets ignited on time the power pushing the piston down doesnt have anything to do with the spark.
You can not go off that video they were using a plug tester with WAY more power that any bike ignition could ever produce, run the right plug with the right gap and leave it alone.
It takes more than just more spark to increase power and the only reason you need more spark is when you make fuel upgrades and air upgrades because with more fuel and more air in order to burn it all correctly you then need a hotter more powerful spark so yes side gapping will help but only if you have increased fuel and air to the point a stock plug cant burn hot enough to burn all the fuel your pumping into. From the looks of it your bike is basically just a off the floor normal stock bike so really all yourr doing is hurting your performance unless you get a bore kit a bad ass carb setup wiith bigger jets and a better air intake set up. Not trying to bash on ya kid just trying to help.
Rather go with a multi point spark plug, the gap should be something you don't mess with, just because of that, there are plenty of ways to gain hp and this isn't one of them...
how about... stronger fuel pump, better and more powerfull injectors (better spray), better RAM intake AND better electricity? A better ( bigger ) spark will help igniting cleaner i guess. so maybe.. instead of cutting the spark plug, he could bend the sparkplug so the metal part stands up more. So the spark needs to travel further and deeper into the engine.
@@Satori-Automotivetheres no fuel pump or injectors or short ram (seems like you are talking about cars) however he could get a bell intake or velocity stack for the carb. He could get a racing version of his ignition coil, maybe racing CDI, spitfire cable and one of those iridium spark plugs which give a "laser beam" spark. More air and fuel will give more power so a cleaner flowing exhaust and exhaust tube with the power bomb thing would be nice. As well as bigger valves and head porting. He could also raise the compression ratio. Edit: custom camshaft with more opening and overlap would yield results and he could also mess with spark timing and carb tuning
It can make more power, if it burns more of the air/fuel.. no engine burns 100% but the closer you get the better. More burned fuel = more power. But most likely not enough to worry about.
if youre that needy for more power, then port match intake port to throttle body, and exhaust port to headers, and spen 10 bucks on iridium spark plugs. edit, fix your damn compression!! youll get that 10 hp by fixing your damn motor
Very Sooty and Black = not a good clean burn.. before it was a very lite brown ashy looking, about as good as it gets. White ashy = lean burn. Basically its not a good mod unless you can get more energy to that plug.
Take a bottle put fuel in the bottom so it’s filled with fumes Put any spark in there Kaboom dude The size of the spark matters not the engine specs are where the power comes from. It’s measured Dancing moving around lolol that makes more horsepower lol
Leave the spark plug alone you are not making it any better. That will not increase your combustion. When the plug sparks inside the chamber it takes a minimal amount of fuel to ignite the plug doesn't need to make contact any faster. Dynos have proven it

Different spark plug gaps subtlety alter the timing of the spark. And different timing affects power output. That's a fact.

It can make more power, if it burns more of the air/fuel.. no engine burns 100% but the closer you get the better.
More burned fuel = more power.
But most likely not enough to worry about.
First question before I ask any others is why are you doing this video with your helmet on???😂 Something fishy going on Willis!!!😂😂😂😅
sometimes people don't like showing their face on the internet, you can pretty much get someone's "identity" just with a face
If an engine was meant to have a side gap plug it would have been designed for it.
agreed. dont you love when people think they can improve over all the engineers that built something.
@@joshuawray5917the bike is his test subject
Why not just get an iridium plug you can gap it probably and get a sharper spark
Why is the fool wearing a helmet, side gapping is a total insane idea.
if you need more power get go green and get a kx 500
I'm sorry I don't see much of a result look like the same thing to me
If it were that simple to get extra BHP for nothing, you don't think the big 4 bike manufactures would of done this years ago?
this was not a lame video
missed split fire type
if youre that needy for more power, then port match intake port to throttle body, and exhaust port to headers, and spen 10 bucks on iridium spark plugs.
edit, fix your damn compression!! youll get that 10 hp by fixing your damn motor
I opened the gap on my plug from .025 to .040 & gained a little more torque. More than I was expecting yo for sure
Excellent 👌👌 job
Run AV Gas in it.
10 more hp on a 25hp bike 😂..Good luck geezer
Use iridium plugs...
this kid does everything we want to try bot are too scared to do
Very Sooty and Black = not a good clean burn.. before it was a very lite brown ashy looking, about as good as it gets.
White ashy = lean burn.
Basically its not a good mod unless you can get more energy to that plug.
Correct. finally, someone who doesn't call him an idiot
dont be surprised when you burn a hole in a piston
Will never happen .... it's impossible !!
Why in the world would you think it would burn a hole in the piston ?? 🙄
Just get a bigger motor for more power or you can modify the motor you have if you know what you are doing.
Take a bottle put fuel in the bottom so it’s filled with fumes
Put any spark in there Kaboom dude
The size of the spark matters not the engine specs are where the power comes from. It’s measured
Dancing moving around lolol that makes more horsepower
lol
Change coil overs instead
that would not give it more power
Leave the spark plug alone you are not making it any better. That will not increase your combustion. When the plug sparks inside the chamber it takes a minimal amount of fuel to ignite the plug doesn't need to make contact any faster. Dynos have proven it
Works better on 2 strokes
W vid
ehh not the best
Pipe jet kit and spark advancer
Just use Coil of Suzuki A100.
Just get a bigger bike.
