Hello:

How long, typically, is a spark plug good for in a typical lawn
mower, and also for a typical weed-wacker, before needing
replacement ?

Assume, perhaps, once a week usage during the summer on each.

Thanks,
Bob

pull the plug and check its condition first of the season.
Here is a page that will show you what to look for.

Just change the damn $2 plug once a season or when it's running
****ty. And spray it with WD-40 -- your wallet I mean. It's squeaks
bad.


Changing the plug is not a bad idea,but while you have the plug out
look at it.It will tell you what is happening with the engine.





True. But what are you gonna do about it? It's a one cyl engine. Adjust
the fuel injector, timing, maybe add a NOS kit to it?

Yea OK, in reality may tell you the carb need adjustment or air filter is
clogged. But if either one of those is the case it's probably running
****ty anyway. If it ain't, don't screw with it.
