Hi I am looking at the Bosch WSR6F plugs on baileys. If I buy a box of these will they fit my Husky 346xp, 372xp, and 385xp? Will this plug fit a Jonsered 2139t? (Same saw as a Husky 338xpt)

Should I get these fancy plugs or just stick with OEM Plugs (NGK I believe)...?

Thanks

I've always had good luck with NGK. Another positive about them is my local Advance Auto keeps them on the shelf, so I don't have to pay ridiculous dealer prices. Bosch is GTG as well though, so just get whichever one you can find the most easily.

Baileys has 10 Bosch WSR6F's for $20.... And they come pretty highly recommended.

Are the Bosch and NGK pretty much equal or is one hotter?

I don't have any saws that are more than a few years old.

I run Bosch in all my Stihl's...same plug for all.

But I got a really good buy on them (a dozen) from dealer.

If I hadn't...I would use NGK...very good quality plug!!
(run them in all four of my Harley's...Never a problem!!)

OK OK I will get NGK... Just wondering why, that's all.

Do all the saws I listed in my original post take the same NGK plug? They are all from the last couple years.

Sorry..not a Husky guy...No "good" dealers near me...

Do you not have the owners manuals to check recommended plug??
If not...call Husqvarna...

Husky recommends the

Bosch WSR6F
NGK BPMR7A
Champion RCJ7Y

They all look and run the same.

I like the NGK because I can go down the street to Advance Auto and pick one up

But I have saws with all these plugs.

OK thanks...

Yeah I checked and all the saws I mentioned call for a NGK BPMR7A..

I am about to make a Baileys order anyway, is a ten pack of WSR6F's worth 20 bucks?

I'll probably just stick with the NGK's and get them locally.

The Bosch WSR6F's and the NGK BPMR7A are equal on heat range, either plug is excellent for a two stroke Moto's,,, As far as which one is better,,,,, Ive run both both for years in a commercial application and have not had a problem,,, I guess it boils down to personal preference and availability,,, either one you cant go wrong

I've had a couple of bad champions out of the box,,, I dont run them.

Yes,,,, NGK BPMR7A

I think I have as well, and never had an issue with the spark plugs...

I had an issue once with a spark plug after I dropped it on a rock and broke the porcelain clean off it!

A plug is a plug buy what you can get easily and locally, ignitions have come a long way and plugs are pretty much a non issue for the most part today.

I've had several problems with Champion plugs as well! I've also had people come over with lawn mowers that they put those high dollar E3 plugs in, then the mower either ran like crap or wouldn't run at all! Change the plug out, runs fine!
Bosch left a bad taste in my mouth years ago in a Ford pickup. Not sure why, but Ford engines and Bosch plugs DO NOT like each other! I didn't even get 10,000 miles out of them and burnt out a coil pack!
Not a fan anymore!

Last set of Bosch WSR6F's bought were made in china, even though i got those plugs ordered among other stuff from Germany....
At least here in Finland all new Stihl's come with ngk plugs and Husqvarna comes with champion.

Also noticed that Bosch has their automotive parts also made in china, so bosch is not what it used to be!!

OK I shed some light on heat ranges in plugs.
14 years ago it was probably was different quality makes sense.. here I can't get Bosch plug . I have to order online.

This thread is second only to mix oil thread,in it's faithful followers of brands, over the last 40 or so years in the saws we use for commercial cutting we have fitted all the well known brands + some not so well known brands, the only make of plug that we have never suffered any type of fault/failure is Nippon Denso.
