  1. It's an old trick to prevent cross-threading. Gently rotating the socket counterclockwise while aligned vertically will let you feel when the plug's leading thread drops a tiny bit into alignment with the head's first thread gap. It's subtle, and requires a deft touch, but it does work.

  2. Presumably, this is the same bike that you are rebuilding the carbs on in a sister thread. This has never happened to me personally, but I understand that if you foul an iridium plug, it is very difficult to bring it back to life. In case your carb rebuild fails, I would get her running properly with the old plugs, then switch to iridium.

  3. Don’t waste the planet’s incredibly small supply of this vital metal on a spark plug for a recreational toy. Use platinum if you can. We should hoard it and use it only where it supports our nation’s vital interests.
