Homelite Chainsaws

My vote is for the DJ6Y. I ran into this issue with some of my older saws. The DJ6Y is just a little harder to find, as not everybody stocks it.

 

[Ginger15]

No one stocks it here. So ill have to find it online.

Will an autolite 2553 work in its place? NGK BM7A? I cant find a dealer online that has the champion plug.

Doing a little digging through the SXL 925 getting it all tuned up. The spark plug is a CJ6, but the air filter cover says solid state. Which means it should be a DJ6Y. Whats the consensus? The spark plug doesnt look that great so I'm wanting to replace it.

Those are two different types of plugs. A DJ* is a taper seat, a CJ* is a flat seat. The reach is also different.

I'm pretty sure ( not positive) the 925 takes a flat seat plug

Here is an ipl for a sxl 925 with solid state ignition. It shows CJ-6y or CJ6

Interesting, Acres shows a DJ6 for solid state. I'm so confused on what to use now. What do you suggest?

 

[fossil]

Use the Homelite manual. As great as Mr. Acre's site is. there are some errors.
I don't get too fussy about plugs

What is your lot number? It is part of the serial number.

There is conflicting information when you cross-reference the IPL and the Manual. According to the IPL's and manual, the earlier 925 (with the 3 piece ignition) call for the CJ6. 9.5mm reach, non-projected tip, flat seat. The later, one piece, ignitions in the IPL call for the CJ6Y. The same plug, with the projected nose (Y-suffix). I am not sure why the shop manual calls for the DJ6Y. It is a tapered seat. AFAIK, the cylinders are the same and are designed for a flat-seat sealing plug. The DJ6Y or equivalent would be a no-no on those cylinders.

I run a lot of CJ6 and equivalent. BM7A if you like NGK.

Is there a different tag elsewhere?

Looks like I'll look for a Cj6Y then? Which would be an NGK BPM7A equivalent? Can you share the IPL that calls for the CJ6Y? Thanks for all the info. I did not know there were flat and tapered spark plugs until last night. Learn something new every day.

Ray posted it above. If we are going off of the IPL and you want to be exact, check your ignition setup and plug accordingly.

I see you have a Canadian built Homelite. The serial number reference would have to be found on a Terry IPL. Not many of those around.

Well I feel like the special kid who is left out of everything now. Would love to see a Terry IPL.

No. Saw was built on the 132 day of 1977. Should have the 3 piece ignition.

 

[Ginger15]

So its not solid state ignition then? Or is that what solid state is? Does that mean CJ6Y or CJ6? My head is spinning now.
