Champion used to make plugs specific for two-stroke-cycle use. They all had numbers that ended with "J" indicating a special two-stroke electrode end.
At some point, to cut down the number of different plugs, they made things more generic.

At one time, all Champion two-stroke 14 mm plugs were: J6J, J7J, J8J, J11J, and J12J.

The J17LM and J19LM were generic "lawn mower" plugs. That's what the "LM" stands for.

The J19LM is around the same reach and heat range as the J8, CJ8, J8J, J11J, and CJ8Y.
 
But is intended for a 4 stroke, will that matter?
I wouldn't doubt the saw has its original plug from '59!

Thanks for the X reference knobby.
 
Me too! I had such a great time last year. I suck with remembering names, so hope to do better this year..... Chuck, what do you need that you don't have for the GTG?
Hi Duane,
Right now I'm on the hunt for some 18-40" logs for cookies, and some bigger size (24-36") hardwood for the Timberwolf splitter..
I was talking with a guy the other night that has a 40"x 9ft hunk of straight red oak, I was trying to get him to donate it, but that's not workin out so well so far..
 
I might be able to get a big pine log. Should I do that? Any interest in saws looking faster;). Lol.
Pine is tough to say, alot of guys don't wanna cut green pine cause the damm sap ends up stuck to everything..
Is it white pine, hemlock, free of knots, ect ??
The guys place I was at today, he's got 3 hunks of white pine that are prolly 28-34" x 30ft but they are full of knots, and fresh cut, I told em I was'nt really interested in those..
They are gonna be headed for the dump/recycler to be ground up..
 
I personally have some hemlock logs laying here that are 16-18" maybe... I'd have to look. They've been on my log trailer for a while. An old guy I know needs a big pine tree cut up in his yard. If memory serves me correctly it's a white pine around 28". I could have all I want. I can't remember how limby it was it's been a while since I saw it.

I'm going to cut it up regardless as he's a good friend and I want to help him out.

Chuck, this is kind of why I floated this out there...... You shouldn't have to go-it alone. Maybe there are some people that can help put the thing together.

Appreciate that Duane,
I just got back from a tree service's lot that I visited earlier today, the owner was'nt around this morning , so I gave his wife my card, he called at 4;30, I went over to meet him..
I'd say were covered for the bigger cookie and log splitter wood, he asked if I'd be willing to put up a sign "Logs donated by Git-R-Done tree service", I said sure !!
Man that guy has a mountain of hardwood, super nice guy too..
I'll be hauling a load sunday, then plan out the rest..
Firewood logs are gonna be here tomorrow morning, I'll post up some pictures..
I'm gettin all giddy now !!!!!

Also, I should have posted on the 1st page, that this is a rain or shine event, a few guys offered up canopies to bring along if needed, and all the saws and gear could easily be put under porch roof and in garage if needed...

Wow! Now that is some great news. Everything you do/have done is sure appreciated. Giddy? Yup! Giddyup...
 
Hey guys, gonna have to bow out of this one too. Had planned on the upstate NY GTG and this one but the surgery guys had other ideas. I'll be there next year and maybe have my old homebuilt Wisconsin THD - powered splitter in tow. Pics and vids please!

Get well soon, and don't listen to that Jackass on the TV!
 
If you would like I can bring my skidsteer with the grapple on it . It's great to move around those logs

Thanks for the offer Knobby,
But I'm gonna try and borrow a mid size excavator with a thumb on it from a buddy...
Besides, you don't really wanna pull that machine the whole way here from Wilkes barre anyhow....lol
