I just bought this engine and it's got Champion J4C 's in it. I went to get replacements this AM and the guy said it actually takes J8C 's. I think one is hotter than the other but I don't know....I've already ordered an orig. manual but in the meantime I'd like to get the right ones in there. BTW - it is running fine w/ the J4c's in there. Any insight would be appreciated...thanks! This site looks awesome ... just found it today.
