OK I will start this post by listing the mods on my ski
94 701 superjet
milled heads
bored carbs
lightweight flywheel
b pipe
skat trak impeller
and some handling mods
The other day my ski quit running on me and I pulled the plugs when I got home and they are fouled. I went up to the store today to get some new plugs and now I got some questions. First of all, what would have caused my plugs to foul? They were replaced by the previous owner last summer. Are they just old and worn out possibly? I am mixing my gas and oil at 50:1 with yamalube oil just as reccommended. I was running NGK B8HS plugs. The guy at the auto parts store (a nicer/more knowledgeable auto parts store) started talking spark plugs with me (im a newbie to wrenching so a lot of it confused me). They did not have NGK's so I ended up getting Denso W24FS-U. He said these were the same as the NGK's and the visual inspection makes me think they are the equivalent plugs. He said that these Densos will actually have a better spark then the NGKs. Anyways will I be fine running these or should I find some NGK's and take these back? Now, back to the spark plug conversation... he started talking about how my plugs got fouled and then recommended that I run a temperature range higher plug and that it would burn my fuel better, keeping me from fouling my plugs and providing me with a better spark and more power. He gave me Denso W22FS-U plugs and told me to test them out. I figured I would just buy them since they were cheap. Now, should I be running these plugs or the W24FS-U plugs? Or should I just skip the Denso's and get the NGK's (will my superjet like me better if I use NGK's?). Also, what should I gap my plugs at?
On a side note, the guy at the parts store started asking me about gas, etc. He said with my mods I don't really need to be running 93 octane. I thought this was bull as he was telling me to run 89 or possibly even 87. I attributed this to the fact that he probably knows very little about jetskis. I have seen everything here saying I need to run high octane and 93 is what the previous owner ran. Should I stick with my 93 or am I pissing some extra money down the drain every time I run 93?
Sorry about the long post but I would like to be more knowledgeable about this so I dont screw my ski up now or in the future.
