Spark plug NGK or Champion
use NGK spark plugs, the best ones are the PFR6Q
Pick up some genuine Audi R8 Red-Top coils (not kidding, much lower failure rate) and some fresh NGK Iridium spark plugs.
I had this very same problem where on my 07 V6 the acceleration and power was off. I had replaced my spark plugs with NGK Iridium plugs and after dealing with the horrible performance I decided to change them out for OEM platinum (copper) plugs. This made a huge difference and could immediately tell a night and day difference. Regained the torque and power that was missing.
I've run the NGK ruthenium in my sierra with the 6.2 and they ran great but I notice they aren't the right gap.
You use a **NGK BR2LM.**
I’ve been running NGK Ruthenium for a year now with 0 problems. Supposedly they last longer and are more stable with less dispersion according to NGK. Going to stick with them instead of Iridium or Platinum.
I have ngk spark plugs and I went with z1 high ignition coils
i got a cheap 80cc kit a while ago and it ran awesome for about 3 months, then i let it sit for almost a year in a garage. Now rusted in some places, but still spins freely, and piston is intact. I just installed a centrifugal clutch and a pull starter, along with a new cdi and new coil, but it just wont start no matter what. I keep pulling and pulling and nothing. I even got a lower temp spark plug for it (NGK B7HS). Fuel is going in, carb seems to be working, i believe im using good enough fuel, tried many different fuel/air mixes... but nothing. Can anyone here please help me figure out what could be wrong? If you need any additional info please ask.
EDIT: after some back and forth with the comments, i decided ill try and disassemble/clean the carburetor, and maybe some other things suggested.
I also realize my formatting isnt the best, but this was one of the first few times i posted in reddit, ever...
And to address me just chucking in new parts suddenly? yeah, not the best move, i realize, but ill try and make it work, and a lesson learned.
Anyway, thank you for the help everyone! I very much appreciate it. Perhaps ill post an update on whether i managed to get it running or not
UPDATE: Today i tried most of what you all suggested and unfortunately, still nothing. I opened the carburetor, as clean as could be.
At this point, my only two suspecrs left is the crankshaft magnet getting misaligned, or im just not getting enough rpm with the pull starter, which is already kind of bogus because it produced a decent spark even when not pulling too fast
But let this be a lesson never use champion plugs again
Ngks are fine but be careful with them. I myself ran these and changed them at 10k intervals. I met someone at a car meet who recommended 5k intervals w these n I didn’t understand till my engine was gone. They can foul up and break inside the cylinder. Granted in my case it was my fault but it’s happened a few times w other ppl.
