Simple question from a zx50 owner, where the heck is my spark plug?
« on: June 29, 2015, 10:38:52 PM »
Hey guys! I found the forum through google after searching all over for the location of my spark plug. I have a zx 50 Super Fever and cannot for the life of me find where it is. In the service manuals it just shows what the thing looks like when pulled out (which i already know since I bought one!).

I have attached pictures, and please go easy on how dirty it is, this is an ongoing project :)

So here are the pics, if someone could please point out where in which picture it is I would GREATLY appreciate it! THank you!

In the third picture you can see the cap for the plug.

Thank you so much Zombie!! I got the plug out but must have the wrong size (5/8). I push it down on there and try to loosen it but the rubber just spins around, hah. They could have made this a little easier!!

I'm not sure I understand...
You have to pull off the rubber boot. The spark plug is under that. Sorry if I have the wrong idea.

I also think it is a 13/16" spark plug so you are correct.

Oh I have the spark plug cover off of it, I meant the rubber inside of my socket actually comes out of the socket when I pull the socket back off after spinning.

That's what I thought after I posted, and left the house.

I was thinking "What kind of ding dong would try spinning the boot off." Then I thought of my brother...

It is most definitely a 13/16". Once I had the correct size it came off like a charm! New one installed, but still won't start. New battery installed, still doesn't start. Now I am kind of out of my league and will probably have to take it somewhere lol

Thank you for all of your help!

I think peanut butter ships better but I stuffed as many shrimp as I could in a manila envelope. I hope it gets there fast because I left the return address blank.

My brother got pulled over for no brake lights. he also had no Lisc.
The trooper let him go on a ticket, and did not arrest or impound.

Later that night (after the bar closed) the trooper is on the side of the road. My brother pulls up behind him to show him he fixed the brake lights.

Arrested, and impounded.



Enjoy the shrimp!
