If engine sags when the battery is disconnected, the plug is too cold or more nitro is needed
If the engine bites back or backfires when hand cranking, the plug is too hot or less nitro is needed
Most HOT plugs can take 2 volts
Most COLD plugs can take 1.2 - 1.5 volts
Most 4-strokes need very hot plugs or high nitro
