MOTOR CYCLE PLUGS

The modern motor-cycle engine, w-hich is a high efficiency unit, is not infrequently fastidious in its taste as /regards the matter of sparking'jlugs, amongst other things. On older machines and on a good many motorcars it does not very much matter what plugs dre fitted, but on most of the faster bike engines it is essential to use a plug that really suits it unless constant and somewhat expensive trouble Is to be experienced. A difficulty that arises in connect 5 on with this matter is that garages keep, in many cases, but restricted stocks of plugs. They may sell the make that one wants, but their supplies are often limited to one model only, and that, as a rule, not the one that is particularly well suited to a really hot-stuff engine. Most of us have at one time or another failed to obtain the plugs that we wanted on the road, and for the rider setting out on a lengthy tour the obvious thing to do is to carry with him at one spare plug, or more if his engine is lilcely to need them. Garage proprietors, too, might well consider whether it would not pay them to extend the range of the plugs that they habitually stock for sale.
