Ah, I should mention I've a weakness for NGK plugs at the moment.
Iridium ones if I can find them. Mind the 500SEL still has the
original bosch ones in it since I've read mixed reports on putting
platinum or iridium plugs in benzes were that was not the OEM
choices. Likely I should consider replacing them all the next service
the benz has.
Most evil plugs removed from power equipment in the past here was
Champions, where idiot mower shop stuck extra cold heat range plug in
mover which required a hot heat range
plug. A year later the plug looked like it was used to stir black
molasses. After that I did on the other hand convince my wife I was
quite capable in doing all the yearly maintenance on the 1/2 dozen
small motors running about. That and the champion stuck in the
generator wouldn't let it idle without missing, but a replacement NGK
worked just fine.
