there were farly new and gave it 2hp just with the leads

You _do_ know that dyno runs can vary by more than that, even back-to-back on the same day. And don't even get me started about different dynos on different days.....

"Way" quicker? What drugs are you smoking/injecting? The amount of power you would gain on a 2AC from high-power plugs and leads is minimal at best, and more likely nothing other than a placebo/+10kw on the clueless-bum-dyno. It's a freaking standard 1.3L SOHC carby 2AC for crying out loud.

no it a standard 1.6 carby the old owner changed the engine

el-o-el at 2hp.

 

this thread i think has surved its purpose.

 

though just don't go and buy a set of ignition leads if you havent checked your current ones are in spec.

Still basically the same engine though, just 300cc larger. And just as unlikely to get "amazing" gains from purely changing plug and leads, unless the existing leads are made from string and the plugs are Bic lighters.

well bout 4months ago i did a ohm test on my leads and one lead was 1.7 ohm's and the rest was 1.6-7 k ohm's is that good or bad i got told it good but the 1.7ohm was very good had no resistance but i don't know much bout that i still learning

 

sorry if i spelled ohm wrong

I wouldn't worry about it. With the high voltage that's pumped through leads, that small a difference isn't going matter. And yes, Ohm is spelt correctly. :)

 

Small difference? One of the leads has an apparent resistance 1000 times less than the rest......then again, there can be issues out there with leads showing up small resistances to multimeters etc but due to the skin effect they actually have quite large resistances (high voltage current tends to travel in a thin skin around the outside of a conductor)

 

Either way, you ideally should have a full set of leads from the same manufacturer with the same resistance across all of them.

Good luck with that. Leads of the exact same material with be a difference resistance with a different length. I'm not sure about your leads, but most of mine are different lengths. A quick google seems to indicate these leads are within acceptable limits.
