I just bought an inline spark tester here www.amazon.com/Lisle-20610-Inline-Spark-Tester/dp/B0002STSC6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1339653228&sr=8-4&keywords=sparkplug+test as its quick and easy to see if the plug is getting electricity without removing it as a quick pre test . Removing the plug , reinserting into the boot and grounding it against the engine you can see if the spark is weak like if the gap is too big or its burned out . I thought it would good to ad to my massive tool collection as you can NEVER have too many tools . Its not that much and may come in handy when troubleshooting since R&Ring the plug many have stripped the threads by not being careful , more so with aluminum than iron heads . Would like to hear from any who have used on of these before and results . Maybe we can get together and compose a specialty scooter tool thread for stuff other than basic hand tools like a wrench or screwdriver

May have to modify the connectors to accommodate the smaller diameter GY6 10mm spark plug top terminal stud, as compared to regular automotive terminal nuts. Reference pdf. An inductive type tester is another option . . as is keeping an old plug for testing purposes.

That is all fine and good BUT that does not mean your spark plug is actually getting the juice. It could be a bad BOOT CAP or even a bad spark plug. Wile
