My manual reccomends changing sparkplugs every year. I do this. I am just curious what the reasoning is. Cars specify a certain number of Kilometers to replace them.
When I do replace them they look almost new. I will continue to raplace them yearly. It just seems weird throwing out perfectly good plugs. I keep one of the old sets on my boat for spares(just in case).
Another question. My motor is a 2004 Johnson 50HP 2-stroke. Johnson reccomends Champion QL78YC plugs. Now with cars you can usually find several equivelant plugs from different manufactures. You can upgrade to platnum etc.
Is there equivelant plugs from different manufactures or upgraded plugs? Or am I limited to the plug they reccomend.
The plugs they reccomend work fine. I am just curious if other companies make plugs for this motor or if Champion offers other models?
Thanks in advance,
Jay
