2004 Johnson 115HP 2 stroke Carburetor. The motor came from the factory with Champion QL78YC plugs and that is what I have always used. I need to change the plugs and I have a friend who is a mechanic and he swears by NGK plugs. I am tempted to stay with Champion because I have never had any issues with them however I am open minded.
I spoke with 2 mechanics at 2 different dealers that I have dealt with. When I asked them about plugs the first one said, Champion all the way. Came from the factory that way and stick with them. The second said he had used both. He said he thought the Champions worked better. I should have asked which NGK he used but I wasn't thinking.
I pulled up a few spark cross reference pages and from what I can determine I want to use an NGK BPZ8HS-10
I wouldn't really spend much time thinking about this and go with the Champions however the guy who is telling me to use NGK is the mechanic for my cars. He is one of the best and honest mechanics I have ever had and he works on a of of boats also.
