Re: spark plugs

The napa guy could tell you they were wrong, but could't look up the correct plug number ?

Re: spark plugs

Well, I'll try again. In short, there may be a reason for a different plug since the engine was built for trucks and all and don't run at WOT in a marine environment for extended periods.

If the engine was running good, and the insulators are tan, I'd stay with what you pulled out.

Re: spark plugs

if you have any boating place local not a chain boating store just a family store or some thing like that there better off telling you what plug to put in it. i went to a person that fixes outboards he looked up the motor and got me the right plug that napa couldn't get me.
