I see the left one is a standard sparkplug and the right one is a long reach sparkplug with no empty space and its Platnium tiped.
You have to be VERY carefull when using a long reach plug though because it can stick down into the cylinder and hit the piston when it is at the top. If that happens, when you go to start it, it will jam and put a dent in the piston. Maybe even hurt the connecting rod.

On my 49cc 1/4th of a turn out clears the piston and I just have another sealing ring thing and that make it about 1 1/2 Its really powerful and has lots of torque and accelerates to top speed so good but again I need to order some Opti-2cycle and tune the carb, Ohh SHOOT I need higher octain , but I am using 89

Hey one thing with those is you to keep turning the plug in all the way even when its hard to because the cylinder on the keyang is not fully threaded to fit the next lenth up spark plug but you can simply put more threads in by turning it in more.

I'm not sure of this but I think my spark plug got fried into the cylinder, because I went to take it out and it will not budge..so ahhhh

if u have the part for your drill you can try taking it out that way.. like its a peice that goes into your drill then it has a square at the engine and u can put the socket on the end

I know but I don't think its going to work because I am a whole lot stronger than a drill and I was using a huge wrench thats about a foot long...IDK I'll try it again later.

AHAHAHA, I know what happened. and your cylinder is trash now.
The part of the sparkplug where the threads were inside the cylinder got carbon deposit (and maybe even lead deposit if you use octane booster) on them and locked it into the cylinder. If you do get the sparkplug out, its going to rip some aluminum out with it.

Well I always knew that all this jurry-rigging of not the stock or HP parts just wasn't right and I wasn't sure if something would actually happen or not. But if it did it was probably going to be pretty bad.
And it turned out to be the sparkplug that sticks so far into the cylinder (but without touching the piston) and it gave you all that compression you would say.
But if you can get the sparkplug out and only strip out the threads when you do it, you can put a helicoil in there and then it will be as good as new.

What do you mean by theres lead deposits from the octaine booster? So does that mean that I should get the real higher octaine..?

hell yeah dude!! octane booster is bad stuff! never use it in two stroke motors or anything for that matter it will only cause bad shoot to happen in the long run it leaves magor build up on everything i drove my dads grand national when i first turned 16 i thought it would be cool if i put a little octane booster in it... now after all new spark plugs and injectors it runs normal... it messed up all kinds of shoot now im summend to drive my tahoe its cool but the GN was alot cooler.... anyways i dont know what the max octane at the pump is where you live (here its 93 minimum octane rating) but you can go to like a small airport and buy some 100 low lead...or buy 115 15 gallons at a time and get it for $3 a gallon thats what i do.... it makes 47cc pocket bike motors run like a bat out of hell hahahahahah...

I once got 100 Low Lead at the airport, but that still gave me the whole lead deposit problem. You see, octane booster is just tetra-ethel-lead AKA makes it leaded gas. But tetra-ethel-lead is a liquid. The lead content in the gas causes the flash point to go up increasing the octane. The more octane booster you dump into the gas, the more lead you are putting in the gas. Leaded gas is OK in 4-stroke engines but not in 2-stroke. And unleaded gas is even better in a 4-stroke.
Race gasoline is the best thing to get. I have a bunch of 1 gallon gas tanks that all have different types of gasoline in them. But race gas can go as high as 150 octane. Its just sometimes far away to get depending on where you live.
