Re: QL78YC VS QL82YC

You have it backwards. Champion plugs are hottoer the higher the number. The 82 is a hotter plug than the 78.<br />If I remember right the factory specs have been changed for most of those motors that called for the QL82YC.

Your motor likes Champions over the NGK<br />Chart calls for QL78YC gapped at 0.030"<br />I use em and recommend the same<br />NGK run a bit hotter and can be a problem
