First set the gap for the plugs to 40/1000's. You can buy spark plug gap tools at any place that sells mechanical parts. Then pop the wire off the top of the plugs. Then you need a 13/16" wrench to take them out (counter clockwise). Then put the new ones in that are properly gapped. Tighten as much as you can with your fingers. Then once you feel resistance on the wrench give it just a little tightening (1.8 to 1/4 turn).
When you take the old ones out take a good look at them. If they're black and sooty your fuel mixture is too rich and if they're white it's too rich. Make necessary adjustments on your carburator.
Gap the plugs .038" to .043" and torque the plugs to 22 ft/lbs.
If it's points or a Dyna S ignition you set the plugs at 28, other wise you set the plugs between 38 - 40
Stock Harley plugs works as good as any.
The spark plug gap for a 1999 H-D (Harley Davidson) is .032 to .036. The actual gap depends on the brand of spark plugs.
You should change your plugs and use lucas oil....
The suggested spark plug gap for a 1973 Harley Davidson is 0.040. It is the suggested gap for most of the spark plugs of that era.
with a left-handed spark plug wench...hehe, then you gotta putt'em in with a right-handed spark plug wench
I prefer Autolite plugs. Dyno shows them to add about 2 HP.
Depends on what size ci. Originally they took a Champion #3 or #4, from Harley, and sometimes they used a #5, which is a "cooler" plug.
ALL HARLEYS WITH POINTS HAVE THE SAME POINT SPECS:.018"POINT GAP AND.025"PLUG GAP..
The Oil Drain Hose is located on the leftside under the battery and is clamped to a blind (goes no where nipple) fitting. If you want to drain and change your primary then it is on the leftside under the derby cover.
