This research analysed the effect of using iridium spark plugs and platinum spark plugs on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions on motorbikes with 50 C engine types. We analysed the experiments theoretically and empirically. The results showed different types of combustions and exhaust emissions. The platinum spark produced lower fuel consumption compared to iridium spark plugs. The empirical results were in good agreement with the theoretical analyses. The better combustion observed with certain spark plugs, like platinum, could be due to their ability to provide a more consistent spark, leading to a more efficient burn of the fuel-air mixture. In the analysis of exhaust emission, the lowest CO and HC values were obtained when using iridium spark plugs. For fuel efficiency, Platinum spark plugs are better, as they reduce fuel consumption. For exhaust emissions, Iridium spark plugs are preferable, as they result in lower CO and HC emissions. Platinum spark plugs are more efficient in terms of fuel consumption, but iridium spark plugs excel in reducing harmful emissions. This test provides information relating to the selection of spark plugs that are appropriate for their intended use. The impact of this research is to provide solutions to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions following the provisions that have been set. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
