Super Jet kawi twist on plug boots resister or non resister?

[chriselmore_1]

does anyone know if the kawi twist on plug boots are resistor or non resistor? i still have half a box of b8es plugs that i wouldnt mind using

 

[Matt_E]

Measure 'em.

 

[chriselmore_1]

what do i measure?

 

[Matt_E]

The resistance through the boot, I.e. between the spike (or wherever the coil wire connects) and the part that contacts the plug.

I believe you can run those B8ES with either plug cap...You should not run a resistor plug with a resistor cap is what I believe Chuck said at XScream...

yes i know that. thats why i was asking if the kawi boots resistor type....

B8ES is non resistor so it does not matter what the cap is, that's the point I am making...just trying to help..

 

[Matt_E]

Takes about five seconds to find out with a meter.

 

[chriselmore_1]

i know that also but i need to run either resistor boots or plugs. i just dont want to run a non resistor boot with a non resistor plug. known to cause missfires...

Probably not an issue in an OEM SJ ignition, fyi

 

[chriselmore_1]

yea im not running an oem ignition at the moment.

I believe the stock Kawi boots are non-resistor boots. Plugs on a stock boat run BR8ES plugs.

Then you do want either resistor plugs or boots. :biggthumpup:

hahahahah yea i know! thats the whole point of the thread!!!!!! i was wondering what the kawi plug boots were to see if im good to use all the non resister plugs i have!!! you guys are killen me!!!! lol

thanks man! just what i wanted to know

i also have resistor ngk boots that i can run but wanted to know about the kawi

Do you have a DMM out an analog meter?

Because I gotta tell you, I wouldn't trust the word of random strangers on the internet - I'd figure it out myself, especially given how easy and fast it is.

I concur

 

[Matt_E]

Nothing against you, random stranger. :biggrin:

I know for a fact the NGK boots are resistor type boots however Kawi used some different kind of boots other than NGK on some year boats, I do not have a set here at present to check and do not know if they are resistor or not.

 

[SUPERTUNE]

If they are the OEM Kawasaki fat blue ones I'm pretty sure they are resistor type, it's been a long time ago since I measured them.
A $5 meter in the flea market, auto parts clearance bin or even Big Lots sells them.

the blu twist on lawi boots are resister boots incase any body was still wondering. ive bean running double resisters for a while now lol
