Spark plugs

#1 Post by Bunji »

Betty (so named as plate starts BTE) is currently running Champion N11YC plugs that are due to be replaced. I note the parts catalogue specifies N9Y plugs.

I gather from Uncle Google that for Champion plugs the higher the number, the hotter the plugs.

Any experiences using either of these plugs?

Then you need NGK BP6ES. Champions were never such champions..

I must agree with Jeroen, Champion plugs are not the best in my opinion. NGK for me everytime.
