    Default Spark Plugs


    What kind are you using in your boat motor? One NGK fouled on me last time out. Bought some cheaper autolites at Advanced, but the elctrodes are way smaller. Not sure how well they will do.

    not sure about the brand . my motor is a evinrude . i use a UL77JC4 champion i think.some come with the surface gap which will foul easier with rich running motor or long period of idling . always after a long period of slow or idle speed run at WOT and burn out all the build up of oil .the newer motors with oil injection i think put less oil when idling . thats what a mercuray . mechanic told me .
    retired and now i will always fish

    98 2 stroke Mercury I put the old plugs back in since I was stuck on the water and it run fine after starting. I always carry extra plugs. I did cut the oil mix down everso slightly. I want to see it smoke some.

    When he gets that new Minn Kota, he won't even know what a paddle is. When the motor fouled the plug, the Minn Kota carried me right to the spot. Still got to fish!!!
