Good job and I change each year the spark plug with a new one, that is, every spring at the beginning of the season change the oil in the engine oil to the spark plug and of course the gasoline filter

Mitch, thank you for the easy to understand and follow videos. I changed my spark plug with an iridium spark plug and I instantly noticed the difference on my Ruckus. Thanks again for your awesome vids! Subscribed!

Hello When you changed the spark plug did the threads of the old plug have oil on it?

@Blessed_4_life

Brian Giemza - I did not notice any oil on the threads of my old spark plug. It could just be a bad or worn out O-Ring on your old spark plug. I would clean the threads around the engine where you screw in the plug and then check the new spark plug after a few rides to see if it happens again.

@@Blessed_4_life Thanks for the information. I called the dealer they said this is normal. I still dont believe them. The 2019 ruckus was used with only 100 miles on it. I'm hoping the oil was just from the dealership tune-up. Maybe the mechanic put the oil on the plug for lubrication/seizing up. They said they checked everything over. But like you said, I cleaned the plug and will drive it for a while and check it again. Thanks

Brian Giemza I would take it back to the dealer If you notice oil on the threads of your new spark plug after a couple days of riding your Ruckus.

Ruckus is it's own class,yes slow but reliable and lots of fun in snow and grass etc.i drive my truck to n the fast lane and my ruckus when it's hot in the slow rain but it's fun as it is

You rock!

I just tried to put in a new spark plug, but it won’t screw in all the way. As I was turning it I noticed it started messing up the threads. Any ideas? It is 100% the right spark plug. Thanks advance.

So I replaced the spark plug but I still cant start it with the button. I hear it clicking but it won't start. I've been using the Kickstart. Did i do something wrong? Or is it because it has been getting colder out here

Could you include the service interval for all these different ruck services you do? You make great videos, I’m always just wondering when I’m supposed to perform these services on my rucks. Thanks!

Why do you have a link to a CR8EH when in the video you clearly used a CR9EH?

Hey mitch I gotta work tnt and I drive a Honda ruckas 2018 and when I go to start it up it clicks where the fuel pump is and won't start with kick start I need to get it working for tnt so I took the battery out and put it on the charger cause it's cold outside I'm hoping it will start when I put it back in tnt for work. But not 100% it's gonna work anyone got tips tricks suggestions for me ???????

Mitch, My 2018 Ruckus drains the battery without recharging. Could it be the spark plug or something else? The new battery lasted a couple months then not starting even with kickstart.

Just a quick question. Does it has to be the exact spark plug or is it long head or short head? I Cant find the NGK ER8EH-9 😞

You could but then you'd probably leak gas all over in the process

Hey this is kinda a question for everyone out there with a ruckus or really any small engine I got a ruckus the other day and I checked the oil and it smells a bit like gas could that be because of the spark plug

Reid check your spark plug sometime. I just bought one 4 weeks ago and I pulled the spark plug and found oil on the threads of the plug. I'm trying to find info if this is normal. Maybe it came from the factory that way. Thanks

Is it important to torque down the spark plug on the ruckus? Just picked mine up yesterday
