I recently replaced my Bosch spark plug in the Golden Eagle 32 cc Tanaka engine with a new spark plug, an E3, that I found at Advance Auto. Here is the link to their site....http://www.e3sparkplugs.com/
The plug really made a difference in the smoothness of the engine and I also noticed a better top speed.
My bike is a Sun recumbent Speedster CX with the Tanaka engine and a fairing. My top speed was 39 MPH before the new plug and I now get 42 MPH. I also noticed that my gas mileage was slightly better. I was getting around 185 MPG and now I am getting almost 200 MPG.
I also have changed to Amsoil 2 stroke oil and I noticed more power and better speed... before the Amsoil and the new E3 plug my top speed on the flats was 36 MPH and with the Amsoil it went to 39 MPH. With the new E3 plug my top speed went from 39 MPH to 42 MPH. With both modifications, the engine really has smoothed out and seems to run cooler with more power and better mileage.
I am doing some other modifications that I hope will earn me a world speed record at Bonneville for a 32 cc motored bike. A new HP carb and some exhaust porting will hopefully get me to almost 60 MPH.
Anyone else have any experience with Amsoil and or the E3 plugs?
And has anyone put the HP carb on the Tanaka 32 cc and done porting work? I would like to get an idea of what I can expect.
