Can somebody explain why they fall off the crank sprocket with consummate ease, but when you try to put it back on again.........oh good luck matey!

Its the same on a two stroke when you try to fit a blue or better powerband.

You can only fit blue power bands onto a sucksuki, never try and fit one to a kwikasfuki

Do you need special spark plug gaps?

KTM 125. Head is off BTW!
Could be worse, the parts department are adamant that they sent the correct parts to rebuild the head and that I must be mistaken as there is only 1 valve spring for that engine. Sent them a video of me measuring the od of the new spring, locking off the vernier, then dropping the old spring through the gap. Wire thickness is different too, no. of coils wrong and supplied In a non oe plastic bag! Dealer has fucked up somewhere! Even questioned if it was a genuine engine or not!
