colortune, again

[catbed]

i've been searching around the forum about colortunes, and ive since decided that there is something wrong with my bike. i have a motorcycle colortune but when i put it in the engine, the bike runs 10 times worse. it doesnt hold idle very well but if i put the normal plug back in, it runs normally. could it be coil voltage?

It sounds to me like something is wrong with the Colortune. Does it run the same with the plug in but the wire pulled off as it does with the Colortune? Do the coils give you strong spark on the plugs? Why are you listening to me? I've never even seen a Colortune.

with the colortune in, it fires but very spordaically. the coils do give me a strong spark with plugs.

Sounds like the Colortune plug itself. If I remember correctly, it has
the center electrodes and arcs on the perimeter of the plug body.

Maybe it is a defective plug, or it is probably cracked ?? Not sure
if you can check for resistance of this Colortune plugs. You can
ask a local Colortune distributor or send an e-mail to the manufacturer
in England.

Your colortune most likely just needs cleaning.

tried colortune only once...no noticeable change in how the engine run compared to the standard plug
so, a faulty colortune?

Agreed - I use mine all the time and never have any problems so your plug is probably a bit iffy.

I only used one once but didnt have a problem aside from my crappy coils. So try cleaning it very well or it may be busted.
