Crap on my plug

[jonnay]

Alright guys,
Since it's been getting colder, the NSR has been getting harder and harder to start. I've flushed it through with 2 stroke additive (cleaner and fuel optimiser), but it didn't help *that* much.

The other day it wouldn't start at all, so I got the plug out and it was thick with dried on black oily crap. It was hard on the plug I cleaned it off and put it back in, started fine.

For a few weeks all was well, but now it's starting to get hard to start again. Not sure if it's just cos it's extremely cold (it's worse if I leave it outside then come back to it later, not as bad in the garage). I'll take the plug off and inspect tomorrow..

What could cause the plug to get so lagged in crap? My dad said the 2t cleaner could have something to do with it, because all the rubbish from the engine will gather around the plug I'm panicking and thinking of drastic things like the rings.. although it still runs fine No noticeable change in power when it's going along.

Cheers,
Jon

It's a 2 stroke they do this.

Check the oil pump.

Clean the air filter.

The above will help but it will still happen.

i have a rs125 and it is the same, for ages i wanted to find out why th plug keeps getting dirty.

Then I just got into the habit of cleaning the plug regularly and didnt worry about it.

I found kitchen scourers (the ones on sponges you do the washing up with) to be good. Also brass wire brushes are good.

Dont use anything harder than the steel of the plug, as you will scratch flecks of metal off. So no sand paper steel wire brushes, or steel scouring pads.
