Spark Plugs

Post by stevec »

Use the recommended plugs; don't go to a hotter plug!

(it'll run great for a little while, until the pistons explode!)

Never use Champion Spark plugs as they are to hot.
Always use NGK B7HS.
I bet this starts a argument :D

Not with me it won't. I agree completely.
The above is my opinion. It is subject (like all my opinions) to debate, disagreement, rude gestures, and loud raspberries.

Welcome to the forums Ring a Ding! No argument here neither, I Will never use Champions again in my life.

I rebuilt a engine for a 1959 Cadillac and when it was done we put in the car but it wouldn't start, I kept thinking I had the distributor out 180 degrees so I kept swapping it out 180, so after hours of trying my dad said "you know I had problems with champion plugs before, lets get a set of AC's" (which should have been in a GM car in the first place)
It started right up with the AC's!
I'd rather be driving my LJ!

I also agree. Champion plugs do not do ATV's any good either.

Of course I am a NGK dealer so I am kinda partial to them.

Welcome ring a ding!!!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't argue that point either! Nothin' but NGK's in my LJ's!

I picked up some NOS recently that had some NGK plugs with the SGP (Suzuki Genuine Parts) logo and Suzuki part # printed on the package. Definitely have to keep the packaging on those!
The only difference between an ordeal and an adventure is your attitude

That's why they made the Lj's so small and light... So you can push them until you get a set of NGK's! :hammer:

Sensitivity for heatranges is more a 2-stroke thing.
I hate rust...

The older I get the better I was...
