Spark plug for small genny?
I have one of those very common 650 watt two stroke chinese generators,
a few years old but looks just like the current cheapies. Someone has clouted the plug cap and broken the insulator. It's a long-reach "full sized" plug. Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement? Is it likely to be fussy? |

Might want to check it wasn't too-long-a-reach and was clobbered by the piston, unless you happen to know it was working OK with that plug in the past... -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement? Take the broken one with you when you go to buy the replacement. Try a garden machinery place rather than a car place. Is it likely to be fussy? Plugs have a multitude or ratings, temperature bands etc etc. The thing would probably run with almost anything of the correct physical size but how long it would last is another matter. -- Cheers Dave. |

I have the wolf 800 watt 2 stroke and this is the correct plug for it:- BR5ES NGK SPARK essential-classic-car-parts on ebay are a good suplyer and it cost £1.35 this time last year. Hope that helps Gary |

For very many years the price of a spark plug (usually "Champion") was 5/- (25p to you youngsters), (as was a gallon of petrol). I'm showing my age now... :-) -- Frank Erskine |
