Re: ngk spark plugs

Johnson....it's always good to run the recommended plug. Yours is a Chanpion QL77jC4 gapped at .030. But if you gap it at .040, it will show better idle and not affect top end.<br /><br />Good Boating and keep us posted. Thanks.<br /><br />PS...I got a 86' 90hp. Same thing 'cept fer carbs.

QL82C is a widely excepted plug now for that engine as well, by Champion, gapped as stated above.

Re: ngk spark plugs

Walleyehed is correct on the QL82C plug for your motor. They changed a lot of the plug numbers back in '95 or '96. You must be using a very old plug chart or the original book.

Well guys...I looked at the latest parts locator disc and this is what I came up with.<br /><br />For 1986 Models....<br />Models 110MLCDC and 110TLCDC: QL77JC4 or QL16V. <br /><br />Models 110TLCDF: UL77V.<br /><br />Don't have the P&A book in front of me. I'll take a look today.

P&A Book recommends either plug....QL77JC4 or the QL82C.

I read somewhere that Johnson designed their engines with Champion in mind.

I was never happy with NGK in my dirtbikes, if they foul out the are done. If you leave them in have some spares on hand

Hey Dritman,<br /><br />I double that! My Yamaha 2 cycle dirt bike ate NGK plugs. Sometimes they only lasted an afternoon of riding. The Champion plugs lasted for weeks on end. I think the NGK plugs would develop a hairline crack in the ceramic and short out. I was using the specified plug, and it looked OK, but it would lose the spark.<br /><br />Mark.

NGK=NoGood Krap.<br /><br />Worked for just one dealer that used NGKs religiously. Seemed okay. Otherwise I prefer Champion if given the choice of either-or. Generally I like whatever brand is appropriate for the motor. NGKs on Japaneese OBs, Champions on American OBs, ACs on GMs, Autolites on Fords.<br /><br />And Splitfires on anything you want to go Poof.
