Default Metal spark Plug

My 1200 watt ETQ generator has been miserable.
Starts on ether, after endless pulls on the
starter cord. Really giving me trouble.

I'm running pure gas, 91 octane. Yes, the gas
is a couple months old. But, last week it ran
fine in my chain saw. So, it's not totally stale.

I'd heard of Splitfire spark plugs, supposed
to be good. Went to Home Depot, they have E3
plugs with a strange end on them. Well, try
Lowe's instead. They had the same plug. So, I
broke down and bought one. $5.97 for a spark
plug, that's insane.

Got home, put the plug in. Generator started
on the 4th pull. No need for ether. I'm pleased.

As with most machines, generator needs to be run
now and again.
