G'day,
Just purchased a 1972 cb350 twin K4. Not getting good spark from original copper high tension leads, replaced with car silicone leads as they were handy. Great spark but runs a bit hotter. Any thoughts? Should i change the plugs or is it better to go and purchase the new copper leads?
Cheers,
Phil

Perhaps it is running hotter because it is now fully igniting.
You are not talking sheep stations here so why not buy new copper leads and one grade colder plugs and see which combination gives the best result.
Cheers, John
