Spark Plug

[Aikaru]

Can you guys read this spark plug for me? My engine has been running good except for when I idle. At idle even with the idle screw properly adjusted, it almost immediately stops

And here is the real kicker...The bike weighs 80 pounds all together and i weigh 217 pounds!!!

The design looks exactly like my engine, except mine is black...probably came from the same factory to be honest. Around the same price too...what do you think got it to reach that speed?

I know what im doing...lol...I set the needle valve on the NT correctly, I run the same NGK plug i recommend at .025 thousandths gap...I use that low profile air filter for extra air flow...I use ethanol-free gasoline mixed at 32:1 ratio, (4 ounces of oil to 1 gal of gas mixed in the gallon gas can and well shaken/mixed before pouring in the tank), and also use 1 ounce of Octane boost per gallon as well...DAMIEN

The oil and octane boost i use:

Very doubtful...The Zeda 80s are somewhat unique in that they have a ceramic lined cylinder for heat disappation and longer life

Ah fair, I probably will never reach the 40s anyways, but maybe I can get to at least 35. I'm hoping at least

My cheapest pieces of crap motors gave me at least 35 to 37 MPH doing things the same way as i did my Zeda.

Welp, we'll see if anything improves with a new spark plug. Could be our whole culprit all along lol.
