cruiser650 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi all, Trying to do a compression test on my 1997 Dragstar but stuck trying to get the sparkplugs out !! Bike didn't come with a tool kit so tried to remove with my car spark plug socket, of course it's too big. Looking on fleabay there are several sizes, 12mm, 14mm and 16mm with 3/4 and 1/2 inch drive. Don't want to order the wrong one ! any advice please ! Thanks, Gra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cov_AL Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 If memory serves me right - I think it's an 18mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Memory does serve. It is indeed an 18mm. You may find you have to buy one seperately, rather than it being included in a set. Halfords do them. Get the long/deep one with a rubber O-ring to grip the plug, else you'll be dropping it inside the cylinder and you'll need a wife with small hands to reach it.
