The main question was an issue we are having. I mainly need to know if it matters which spark plug cap u put on a spark plug. My dad tells me that all things need a fireing order but idk I listen to ZRT as he has more snowmobile experience. But my dad has more engine experience so idk... more input.

 

Cat triples fire at the same time on all three cylinders. Yamaha's fire individually.

 

Slick's right... All three cylinders fire 3 times per revolution.

Cat doesn't use a distribution system. 2 strokes don't really need them if you think about it, knowing spark at other timings have no effect.

When a spark happens at 120 & 240 degrees, it has no effect because there's no compressed air/fuel mix at those timings anyway.

 

oohh ok thanks for clarifying that for me thumbguy

 

AG is correct,the stock ignition fires every 120 degrees,so it will not matter how you put the caps on.

In 97 I put a MSD ignition that was designed for a sea doo on my 600 zrt prostock. It was a total loss ignition fired 360 degrees and you had to make sure you put the plugs in the right place.It had BIG blue flame spark!,lol.
I had heard that the new f-1000 had to have its firing order correct,but I haven't confirmed that.

 

all above are correct,, but, for the record it's 1,3,2,, , mag, pto, center,,,,, repeat

 

Like C-Note says, there is no firing order for the spark plugs, but there is a firing order for the cylinders, so you do have to specify what you are talking about. I remember reading an article that talked about the sequential spark system when Yamaha started using it on the SRX. Yamaha claimed it improved the output of the engine because all of the coil energy was only going to one plug instead of all three. It is a more sophisticated igniton system, and my guess would be much more expensive. The manufacturers have to weigh the cost vs. the benefit, and it seems cost wins in most instances.

other than the rare earth magnets strength and the sequential firing requiring each plug to be assigned to a particular cylinder via its own trigger strip,, it's (IMO) not really that sophisticated,,

I heard it is the flux capacitors that are Yamaha's key. ;-)
