    Default 85HP johnson spark plug?

    I just bought a 71 starcraft jupiter with an 85HP johnson motor model V4AL-20A, the owner gave me some used spark plugs in case I needed then and they were L76V, I went to the auto part store to pickup some new plugs today and when I went to put them in I noticed the plugs in the motor are QL77JC4. What are the correct plugs for this motor?

    Thanks in advance

    The L76V are surface gap plugs and are the orginal plugs for the engine. The QL77JC4 plug is a replacement with a center electrode, it will idle better with the QL plugs in it. Use the QL77JC4 plugs.
