It's not fitch, it's Ficht!

150, 175 Ficht/DI 1997 - 1999 7712 (with non-pinned cylinder heads) .030"

Re: spark plugs

Do those Spark Plugs need to be indexed? I had thought so...

Re: spark plugs

Yes, all OMC/BRP DI motors require spark plugs to be indexed.

Re: spark plugs

If I was you I'd take it to a good shop. It sometimes takes more than 6 plugs to get them indexed correctly and they have to be torqued. The shop should only charge you for 6 plugs as they can be used in another mtr.

Re: spark plugs

I would follow Boobie's suggestion, unless you already have the tools and knowledge to do it yourself, then:

BTW, never even think of shimming or using extra washers to get a plug to index properly. If a plug won't index, use it on the same cylinder, opposite bank. It will almost always then index correctly.

Hi, maybe some one can help with this one. My 1999 150 Ficht has the Champion 7712's, Im having a hard time finding them. I was given a replacement equivilent, NGK PZFR6F11, this was right on the retails system computer as an alternative. I diidnt go with them...yet... Should I keep looking or will the suggested replacement work?

I would only use the recommended Champions.
