Folks, what spark plugs are you using in your V50s?
I see the manual gives Bosch W260 T30, Marelli CW 9 LP, or Lodge 2 HLN. Is there a NGK equivalent, or what would you recommend? Thank you. |

Spark plug cross reference says the Lodge 2HLN is equivalent to the NGK B7ES |

Can't find W260 in my list, but it says Bosch W5C for NGK B7ES. Edited by Mike H - 17 Nov 2019 at 00:06 |

I don't know why you would blame the plugs for firing on the wasted spark - surely it shows they're working better than the alternatives?

I don't have enough information nor clever enough to explain it, all I knew was the bike was unridable like that, put the old Bosch back in, no problem. I think it's more of an issue that the Rita is a wasted spark system.

Isn't the standard system wasted spark as it's driven off the crankshaft?

Whichever plug you use don`t forget to ensure the plug caps are in good order or as recommended renew them also at the same time

Yes, the Bosch system must spark every revolution. But I had a Rita system on my SPIII, and never had a problem with too many sparks. Did have a problem with too few sparks when the coil went though.

Somewhere deep in my memory banks I think that the Lodge plug was a surface discharge type that used to be fitted to Alfa Romeos. They were very good plugs, you might be able to find some NOS on eBay.
