| Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:11 pm How To Change The Spark Plug |
|
|
This guide will explain how to change the spark-plug in the standard chinese 4 stroke engine layout. My scooter is the Baotian BT50QT-9.
First of all remove the seat with the 4 bolts (Size 10mm Socket) and the 1 screw at the front.
The spark plug is located in the red circle:
Pull out the silver spark-plug cap.
This reveals a hole in which the spark-plug is located.
The tools you will need to remove the spark-plug are shown below:
The socket used is a 5/8 inch (16mm)
Use the socket wrench to loosen the spark-plug
Then use the a small length extension to unscrew the spark-plug.
Remove the spark-plug as shown:
To replace the spark-plug you will need the following equipment (the far right item is one of the bolts from when the seat was removed).
Place the seat bolt inside the socket
Then place the spark-plug into the socket. The seat bolt extrudes the spark-plug slightly more, allowing it to screw in easier.
Use the socket on it's own to screw the spark-plug back in.
And then tighten using the socket wrench.
Be careful when pulling the socket out with the bolt inside, as the bolt can quite easily fall into the engine casing. Then it's a bitch to get out.
When you have tightened the spark-plug, remember to replace the cap over the spark-plug to provide the current.
Then simly replace the seat, and the spark-plug is changed.
The correct spark plugs to use are "Standard CR7HSA" or "Iridium CR7HIX" |

I would suggest to anyone changing there plug to get an iridium any time.
better starting and idling, better fuel consumption and a tiny boost of speed. |

| I just went out and bought one of these NKG Spark plugs, I have the RoadRunner Road Queen, the info on under the seat says it takes a DPR7EA-9, thats not what your post says.....is this one the right one? How difficult is it to change them? Can a "woman" do it? |

I'm not sure if yours would be the same as mine but mine was on the right hand side and it is fairly simple to change it, just slip the electric cable which is connected to it off, unscrew with the usual sparkplug tool and pull it out and pop the new on in its places....thats a very simple explanation of what to do....just so you get an idea how easy it is.....fiddly but easy, I'll let someone with more knowledge help you with a more in depth answer :)
Just 1 word of warning though, don't drop it in the case that its enclosed in, its a right pain in the a** to get out.....took me ages to fish mine out. |

His is a 50cc, yours is bigger so it probably needs a different plug. The procedure is the same or very similar, just different panels for different scooters. Some scooters such as my Retro donesn't even need any panels to be removed to change the plugs.

| iridum plugs like NGK normally end with IX so I would guess DPR7EA9 would be DPR7EIX-9 but don't take my word for it :lol: wait for the experts to confirm or deny :P |

It's true, the numbers of your plug need to be cross referenced over to theirs.
Mines a stock CR7HSA
Iridium is a CR7HIX |

I think thats only with NGK and Iridium, Best bet is taking out the old plug and taking it to a bike shop then asking for the match with NGK.
That way if you get it wrong you can blame them ;) |

same as mine....however averywhere I went didnt have the CR7HSA or the CR7HIX in stock so I had to get the CR7HS instead......there is a difference obviously becuase of the name but I dont know what it is.....still works though |
