I have a new Ariens blower (SHO). I assumed it had an NGK in it and haven't checked. I'll pull it today to check.
Sure enough, it's got a Torch F6RTC. I've ordered an NGK 7131 plug to replace it for $3. I'd better get on that in a hurry, before the next snow storm sneaks up on me...
Okay - just curious why you wouldn't spend an extra four bucks for the BPR6EIX Iridium plug. I've been upgrading all of my OPE to Iridium plugs and have been happy with the results. Check back with me in five years if you like, My thoughts are that these will be a better option over the long run.
At twice the price is it really worth it, considering how long cheap copper Champions last in most power equipment?
