I removed the plug in my Stihl SH-86 C-E blower / vac. I like having extra plugs on hand for all my OPE.
So, I pulled the Bosch plug to see it's made in China. It was a USR4AC. I didn't want to buy any more Chinese-made Bosch's, so I tried to cross-reference it on-line to an NGK. No luck.
Anyways, I went to my local NAPA and they had the equivalent NGK in stock. It was $3.60 + tax , which I thought was a bit high. I was sure that I could get them cheaper on E-Bay. So I bought just one to keep the parts guy happy.
Got home and checked on E-Bay to find out they start at $3.50 ea. + shipping of about $2.00. Some fool sellers were wanting $7.50 ea.
So, it 's back to NAPA tomorrow to buy a few more. Gotta admit, when it comes to spark plugs, NAPA is pretty damned competitive with their pricing. I've purchased plugs from there before, so I should know that well enough by know.
If you need plugs for your OPE, give NAPA a try.
