hi,
I am using Vespa P-150X . I want to know what is the recommended spark plug for it. I usually use NGK BP6HS. What do you suggest is it right?
Thanks in advance.
I found this guide from Scooter Center helpful, especially since Bosch and NGK values move into different directions:
Heat Value
A cold spark plug is for engines which develop a very high combustion chamber temperature, usually these are engines which have a high power output measured by their displacement.
A hot spark plug, on the other hand, is used in series production engines with low loads. This type of plug quickly reaches a high temperature and the soot on the plug burns off well.
The heat values of spark plugs are not standardized. Every manufacturer has its own code.
NGK from cold to hot = 10-9-8-7-6
Bosch from cold to hot = 2-3-4-5-6
DENSO from cold to hot = 37-34-31-27-24-22-20-16-14
