Weak spark!
04/29/06 at 15:26:39

I'm Angie's friend Chris. I got the carburetor back from the shop today, slapped it all together and it still smokes badly and fouls the plug after 20 miles.

On a whim I grounded the plug and the spark is yellowish...not good. The bike came with a Denso X24EPR-U9 plug, should be the X22...would this cause a weak spark or something with the ignition? Do these have CDI?

Accoording the specs.( of the Suzuki Workshop Manual) you have the right plug .

Reply #2 - 04/30/06 at 06:59:01 The KLX is notorious for it's weak coil so I use an Iridium plug to nurse it, used to be an NGK DPR8EIX-9 but now is a Denso IX24B.Shouldn't be a problem with the Savage but wouldn't hurt any.

Make a search with LS 650 or LS650 in e-bay motors. Greetz Kropatchek

Takes a $3.99 ohmmeter. If You don't know how any mc shop will do it probably for free. Also check the cpark plug cap. Your problem seems more like a CDI, but check all the possibilities before You replace it. The easiest way will be if there is other Savage rider who will let You swap parts.
