This illustrates the location of the spark plug on Vento (and other clone) 50cc scooters and also includes a picture guide for checking your spark plug for proper mix.
T he spark plug boot is circled in green in the picture. An easy way to locate the spark plug boot is by following the exhaust pipe to the underside of the scoot (when the scoot is on the kick stand (not the main stand). Remove the boot, and the plug should be visible. I would recommend cleaning your plug (wire brush) every 500-1000 miles or so, or at least when you change your transmission oil. If you replace your plug, or want a cheap performance boost ($7-$10) look for an iridium spark plug (50cc Vento (or clones) use NGK BR8HIX or Denso IWF24). Iridium plugs cost 2-3 times as much as a regular plug, but there is a slight gain in performance when you use them. They have been dyno proven to garnish HP and Torque gains in automobiles. The stock plug in a Vento 50cc (or clone 50cc) is a NGK BR8HSA but you can use a BR8HS of a BR8HSA is unavailable. The below chart will help you “read” your plug and may help you determine if there are any issues with your fuel/air mixture or if you have a more serious problem. |
