NGK FTW. If that's not available and I have to have something right then.......ND will usually suffice.

As for Bosch, I have removed more of those plugs from car engines for causing misfires than any other plug. I have actually removed Bosch Platinum plus 4's that were only 30 miles old cause they were causing more issues than they were stopping. I don't like 'em and will never use them again. I also only like a Champion in a lawn mower or chainsaw.

I think I've got a Champion in my mower. Suckers gotta be 10 years old at least, runs like an animal.

MY chainsaw only likes NGK plugs. those champion pieces of shit just anger my old McCulloch 10-10 auto, as well as the Jonsered 670 I used to have, and all my previous Stihls. That said, NGK is king for plugs of quality.

Gotta keep the saw happy. No one likes an angry chain saw. They bite.

I gotta tell you about calling the non-Buell HD dealer to get plugs for my bike. It was funny.
