spark plug cap info

[goodas40]

Hi guys, can somebody shed some light on which NGK spark plug cap to buy? Is it resistor or non resistor and what size in mm do i buy as they suggest 12-14 mm etc? And part numbers would be good as well if poss. Thanks in advance Dave

Ngk makes caps for a bunch of applications. You just pick the one you need for your particular application.

Generally speaking, you don't want/need to combine Resistor caps with Resistor plugs. Your old bike likely doesn't need either, so if you can get non-Resistor caps, then at least you can try to find non-resistor plugs. Most plugs tend to be resistor-type, hence my suggestion to avoid having resistor caps. Double the resistance just means a weaker than necessary spark.

Plug cap resistance is 5k

Just as a note, if you have resistor type caps and want to remove the resistor you can replace the resistor inside with a section of brass rod, this way you can run a resistor type plug and not have to replace the actual cap
