    i've got a Hibir QH 250 OGY according to my title... decals on bike says Ricardo db22... this bike is a cold starter.... can only use electric start as manual has a mean kick ... have to 1/3 throttle it at full choke and then keep it revved for about a minute... once it warms up it does fine.... i think i should be using a different plug ( meaning heat range, hotter or colder)... when i bought the bike from private party it had a new plug in it but don't know if it's the recommended plug or not.... can i just replace it with what the honda 250xl recommends.... if anyone can help me as far as plug numbers i sure would appreciate it... thanks so much for your replies

    NGK DPR8EA-9 IS the Honda spec that chinese engine based from.
    "Sourcecoil" often woes in older chinese bike, there's some CDI that "bypass" it (Uses DC ONLY )

    that plug works great.... just choked and hit the button ( left the throttle down ) and it started right up... didn't have to rev to keep going... that's the one Human Being... thanks
