When I last bought Spark plugs for the LX ( 308 red with VK Elect Dizzy) I mistakingly bought just standard Red Motor Spark Plugs BP5FS. Today I asked the guy at Auto Pro if it makes much difference if you install these plugs with an Elect Dizzy and he told me its only the Gap on the plugs thats different if you buy the plugs for running an elect dizzy!?.

Is this correct.... surely not?( is'nt one a resistor plug and the other non resistor) should I just re- gap mine or buy the other plugs for running an elect dizzy??

I have recently travelled this path. Use the plugs you have and gap them to1.4mm.

I'll give that a go then mate, the only reason I asked was its running rougher than it used to ,at the moment they are at the gap supplied when new( whatever gap that is?)

I had the same issue. The idle and light throttle were much improved by increasing the gap as described. Advice was variable from those I asked including NGK and performance ignition in nunawading. Is your heat range correct?
