My Manurhin came with a spark plug in it, but as the bike in general had been so abused, I am being cautious as to wether this is a spark plug as specified.
The plug in my bike is an AC 44-5V
I came across The Green Spark Plug Company on the internet and thought I would do a little research into sparkplugs. Crikey! I hadn't realised how complex it all was, and so I gave them a call to see if they could enlighten me.
The very helpful chap at GSPC informed me that an AC 44-5V was very likely the correct plug for my scooter (and very common for scooters in general). They were out of stock of those but the very reasonable J8C would be a suitable alternative (see the photo alongside for a comparison of these plugs - seems like a 'copper core' electrode is the only difference - and these are supposed to be better for high temperatures..... not that i imagine my Manurhin getting that much wear)
I pressed him further for suggestions on plug caps, and once again he informed me that my application was pretty common and a standard non-suppressed LZFH would do the job handsomely.
Feeling flush I took the plunge and ordered a meter of 7mm PVC HT lead too.
Total cost including postage; £7.82
