I was having a hell of a time clearing a spark plug it just got a little bit of extra gas and oil on it, I tried all kinds of crap that just didn't work! I saw your video did it exactly worked flawlessly thank you !!
I was going to say. Why are they junked up like that. Could it be a clogged catalytic causing bad pressure . Engine isn’t breathing right? Definitely rich
@@abelesquivel4087it can be a lot of things. My case for example should just be the floats in my carb on my 80s k10 pickup. Rebuilt the carb and I’m just going to clean the plugs because they have maybe 15 minutes of run time but I believe the floats being so far out of adjustment was letting the carb way over fuel and foul out my plugs.
Looks like tattoo people who like stars still do. But then they don't use a gap gauge correctly either. Never pry open a gap with any gauge, have to use the hole bender like a good guy.
Nice inwas literally thinking this and wasn't sure. I know some people just say replace it but we don't all live a block from an auto part store. This is useful for guys like me who live on an island in Alaska.
@@DEInTheGarage RockAuto… they have plugs for a 2010 Honda for $1.83. They have iridium NGKs for $10. Those are as expensive as they offer. That $2 plug at Advance is $7 btw. No. I’m not affiliated…. just been a customer for years. I still hit up Advance & Autozone… even oem occasionally (if required)
I been cleaning some oil dirty ones that have been causing misfires and I’ll go for months without issues and clean them again. Only had to replace one that was cracked. Great video mate!
Had to do a plug change in the wife's SUV, they started to have that not enough gap and one was failing to fire. Set me back 40 bucks since it uses some non V8 plug I could just rob from the stash 😉
For the price of a plug and the headaches even a thought to be fully cleaned and perfectly fine plug can cause its not worth it unless you have to have it running to finish a job thats 20 miles from the nearest new plug. Thenbif thats the case just give it a quick cleaning and drag some abrasive between the electrode and ground strap, blow off with some cleaner and run with it until a brand new plug can be had. No reason to spend more than enough time to get it to run long enough to dinish up for now!
I mean on small stuff like that, that’s a 2 stroke plug (NGK BPMR7A) they are like 2-3$ a piece and you should always have spares for your equipment, heating them and cooling them like that can cause cracks in the porcelain because you cool it to quick and it’s just easier to fix the issue (re tune the carb that’s running super rich) and replace. Saves time trying to figure out lack of spark
This may get you by but plugs do go bad ask anyone who rides a 2 stroke. Your plug goes bad you can clean it all you want it'll just pop sputter and die.
Don't use a cleaner that has chlorides in it (particularly, organic chlorides - found in some solvent cleaners, such as some brake cleaning fluids). Burning them can create phosgene gas, which is a nerve gas. People have died by burning that sort of stuff.
@@Mohapi_Tau should replace them. If the engine you are using them on calls for iridium plugs then you really should be just replacing. Otherwise, oven cleaner or a small torch to burn off deposits might give short term relief to issues caused by old plugs.
@@TheMoffBoy I've already replaced my plugs & the oil keeps getting on them, I know I may have to do an engine rebuild but not now. In fact I'll do it in the near future, for now however cleaning them seems to be the solution.
@@Mohapi_Tau how do you know it's oil? Assume you have fouled plugs? In which case, this could easily be a mixture issue. If you are running with fuel injection (assume so considering the use of iridium's) then likely a maf or more likely an O2 sensor issue. Possibly even an exhaust leak causing the ECU to dump fuel. Also a chance of a bad cat. If you have blue smoke then yeah likely oil. Believe it or not, most common cause of oil in the combustion chamber is either a faulty pcv valve or leaking valve stem seal, which usually is only a starting issue.
Just buy new, kind of like jets for small engines and morotcycles/watercraft/atvs and shit, just replace the jets cause they are cheap and youll mess up the jet size cleaning it out with a piece of wire....just replacebit unless its an emergency and you are 20 miles from getting new and you just need to make it work for a few minutes!!
Put Hot plug in that Cylinder or fix the problem properly. All that oil looks like a broken piston ring or a bad valve guide. Sounds expensive, is expensive. Put a hot plug in and get rid of the vehicle or spend 3k plus to fix it right.
You don't. You first figure out why there's so much oil in the cylinder in the first place, then you repair that. Finish up by installing a new plug. Anything else will be a short-lived non-repair.
DON'T DO THIS! Don't set for to brake clean. Depending on the additives it can create phosgene gas. Even in tiny amounts, it can be very bad for you, even fatal. There are better alternatives when you know heat will be applied.
It is not fixing, it is breaking the spark plug with a wire brush. Totally wrong, heat up and spray cold chemicals. It may crack the spark plug. Over heating may break the spark plug seal. Wire brushing makes a conducting metal paint over and failure to spark.
Waste of time and money ! BUY A NEW ONE, don’t spend on fuel of your torch and your labor. It doesn’t worth the effort aside from you risk your battery from exploding near your torch !

It usually screws with the gap just dont touch it or use a carb clean rest it for a few minutes then flame to dry and good to go
After seeing this I decided to buy a new one🙂
or get an old toothbrush and clean it with some gasoline...although i bet you know that
😢🎉😢🎉🎉. ,,?🎉 @@giannisk36698
A - Find out why it is a problem.

Nah, lil high grit sandpaper, most of the time the plug aint bad, its just fouled or gapped incorrectly
I didn't think anybody cleaned spark plugs anymore. Learn something new every day.

I like the way you think sir.... if it ain't broke don't throw it out.
I’m more worried about why there was all that oil on your spark plug in the first place😅

The last thing you want to do is spend $3 to replace it. I recommend this method. Old plugs are better over time. They are like wine.
Now I ain’t just being argumentative… but plugs ain’t no $3 anymore! Some of those day IR’s go for over $25 each!

You mean too much gap.
I just use a wire brush and it works great, never done it with spark plugs on a car tho but I bet it’ll be the same
Great video
Lighter/torch to burn off the fuel and then my dad has this nifty spark plug sand blaster that I use a couple times each year
I am here for that sound ....😊
I wonder if you can do this type of cleaning on an iridium coated spark plug?🤔
Best cleaning ive seen personally

It seems to be a plug from a two stroke engine running rich. Take DMSO, soake it overnight and rinse with carb cleaner.
My grand-grandfather did so with his model T . he lit a fire with dry branches at the side of the road
I just personally replace plugs they're really cheap
In automotive engines I do for sure. this was out of a leaf blower that had fouled the plug
Theyre 26 bucks each for a Mercedez

Very entertaining Douglas.👍👍
Молодец, красава, только вот проблема, пробивать будет если внутри не вычистил нагар
so good 👍
What did you spray on it?
Carb cleaner or brake cleaner
Thanks ben
Why did the response get deleted for the answer
Or just buy a new spark plug instead of trying to burn down the house 😂
Yeah up!
J6Y.... under 3 bucks! auto Z.
U can always have/buy a few spare around. New in the box😊
WMart $1.78😊😊
def a trust the process
💪
What is the spray you are spraying them with?
Carburetor cleaner
Just make a spark plug feel like it's a glow plug!
I feel kgf-2 movie bgm scene sound🔥😅😂
Is petrol or something different?
Don't use a cleaner that has chlorides in it (particularly, organic chlorides - found in some solvent cleaners, such as some brake cleaning fluids). Burning them can create phosgene gas, which is a nerve gas. People have died by burning that sort of stuff.
We can all agree this video has inspired us to buy New spark plugs 😂
Wire brush and carb spray
I drop them in lacquer thinner for an hour or two. then a torch.
What cause the spark plug to file out?
worn piston rings, oil passes through them and not all get burned and soaks the sparkplug. Also, worn out valve stems.
Well that's easy👍
Or use a plug sand blaster.
What kind of torch is that?
Blow torch
seve bien pero si esta mala aunke la limpie no funsiona
After you use fire torch what Is second
In my best Greta voice... How Dare You!
Note, dont wire brush an iridium plug. It will damage.
What should you use instead?

The remnants of the metal wire brush on the insulator can cause problems😮
Just blow it off with some air
With all that propane and supplies used it would have been cheaper just to replace them with new plugs
Все детство свечу зажигалкой прожигала, иногда и спичками, капец новшество
Very "smart" having a battery next to the flames😅😅😅😅😅
Nice D.I.Y. Destroy It Yourself😂
That’s what I was thinking just wire brush it and use brake cleaner
Suppose to gap them at 55
Not supposed to use a gapper that way.
Thats a good ideal,flames next to a battery
To be honest bud, I just wanted those words out there on the internet :-) I am with you on the new housings being a more cost effective option.
Hey better move that battery 😮

Just replace the plug. And also heating it up then spraying brake clean to cool it down will damage it or crack it you you should never do this
Not everything need to be repair, it cost 100 rupee to replace new.
It dead
Or ....... Replace the 3 dollar plug.
Engine problem fuel heat range n
That won’t fix the problem.
Equivocado así no
Why to be clean after all you can buy new ones 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Never go to this mechanic
I would do the same but hotter 😂
Buy a new spark plug for 3 bucks ya dingus
