Construction Plugs
The top of the spark plug is a terminal that connects the high voltage cable. These terminals connect with the middle electrode is usually made from a mixture of nickel to withstand the heat and destructive elements in the fuel, and often has a copper core to help remove heat. In some electrode spark plugs are made from a mixture of silver, platinum, palladium or gold. -Spark plugs are designed to provide resistance to a greater erosion and can remain good.
Central electrode through an insulator ceramics found on the outside. Isolator serves to protect the electrode from electrical leakage and protect from heat engines. To prevent gas leaks are seals between electrodes with an insulating middle and the body between the spark plug insulators.
Body plugs made of steel and nickel plate is usually given to prevent corrosion. The top of the hexagon-shaped outer body (the corner of the hexagon) which serves to harden (set up) and relax (open) spark plugs. At the bottom is made so that the screw can be screwed plugs (attached) to the cylinder head. At the bottom there is the spark plug electrode side or the negative electrode. This electrode spark plug is welded to the body to point to the time when there is a spark. There are two types of seat plugs are flat and cone shaped. Sparkplug holder is part of the body of the spark plug at the top screw that will meet / is paired with the cylinder head. If the spark plugs seat is flat, then there are the ring seals (sealing washer), on the other hand, if the cone-shaped holder does not require the ring seals.
Ability of generating sparks depends on several factors, among others, as follows:
a. Form electrode spark plugs
Round electrode spark plugs will make the leap sparks while square and pointed and sharp will make a stepping fire. The spark plug electrodes will be used in the round after a long time, therefore
sparks leap will be weak and cause ignition of error, otherwise the thin electrodes or sharp will make sparks, but use a short life due to faster wear
b. Spark Plug Gap
If the spark plug electrode gap larger sparks would be a difficult jump and the secondary voltage required for it would have been up. If worn spark plug electrodes, means the gap increases, sparks leap becomes more difficult so that will cause ignition fault.
Gap of electrodes for motorcycles (arrow in image at right) usually 0,6-0,7 mm (for details see the user manual or catalog spark plugs)
Figure in addition to the electrode gap is too small. This will result; weak spark, electrode dirty fast, especially on the 2 machines can not (two strokes).

Figure in addition to the electrode gap is too large. This will result in the need for jump voltage spark higher. Insulator-insulator high-voltage parts quickly damaged by the children brought up-ignition voltage extraordinary height.
If the ignition system can not meet these needs, the engine began life is choked up at full load.
In addition, the spark plug gap is too large can also cause the engine a bit difficult to start up.
c. Compression Pressure
If the compression pressure increases, the interest any will become increasingly difficult to jump and voltage required higher and higher, this also happens during heavy load and slow the vehicle Take a low-speed and fully open the gas valve. Required ignition voltage also rises when the temperature mixture of air-fuel down.
