[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 51106, member: 778"] The heat range was not a reference to a better spark, it was only if the engine was oiling the plug causing a possible problem. I am fully aware of the spark plug heat ranges and there effect in real time operation. As for the small electrode, one only has to go to most spark plug charts that recommend the spark plug to use under what circumstances. You will find that a small electrode is recommend for magnetos with a week spark. All that I have recommended is good advice , will not hurt your magneto in anyway, and the tests I recommended will not take but a few minutes and not a waste of time . I have not meant any of my words to correct a malfunction in its totality of the magneto on one of its spark leads. I have fixed a number of Vincent's with similar problems , I speak with some what authority in this area. Owning and operating 4 motorcycle shops this if I might say this is rather elementary. A Vincent that is not firing on both pots that cant be fixed in not more then 1 to 3 hours better find a different business to get into . This is my last post on this thread. [/QUOTE]
