Default What plug for Novarossi N21BF??

Whats the best plug for the Nova N21BF? BESIDES Odonnell plugs. I would like a hot plug if its ok to run it in that motor.

Went to race today and couldn't get my buggy to run. Put in a brand new Odonnell 99 plug (what I been using) and still nothing. Tried tuning and still nothing. Motor seems to be fine, even ran good last time I raced it. But I havent got to run this motor very much. The buggy would seem to run OK if you leave the glo igniter on the plug, but as soon as I would take igniter away it would die almost immediately.

I would clean the inside of your engine really well with denatured alcohol, or motor spray, and oil it. If you want a slightly hotter plug I would try the mccoy mc-8, works great. Don't go too hot though or it will burn up faster, the plug....Check the fuel lines, tank, and clutch too.. it's always something simple.....

what all should I take apart to clean the engine? and by cleaning you mean dis-assembling and spraying out?

and oiling it, with what oil?

Odonnel 99 is a medium plug. It's been a great plug for years.
