Stihls Own Branded Plug?

[bwalker]

More that the Chinese have zero problem with switching in cheaper steel while the OEM contractor isn't looking. If the OEM is supplying the material, they better be making sure that what winds up in the end product is what they actually supplied. Otherwise the Chinese are perfectly happy to swap in inferior steel, and resell the good stuff at a profit elsewhere.

It's more like they don't have the ability to make high quality steel. Same story with aluminum.

To me Spark plugs are all about the same. I haven't fouled one in decades and rarely if ever change them.
My BP blower still has the original plug and it has hundreds of hours on it.

The only ones I dislike are champion, they seem to cause me the most problems. I like Bosch mostly because they’re half the price of NGK and Champion and have never let me down.

^^^^ Same.... but I will use them for 4 stroke equipment. Mowers, generators, tillers and the like. No complaints.... yet.

That STIHL spark plug was introduced in 2015, no knockoff. Part. no. 0000 400 7016

Not from my distributor in the US. Not in the price list.

I find 4 stroke op3 to be much more finikey than 2 strokes, mostly because the coil resistances are much lower and thus a weaker spark.

Interesting you find the same, as mentioned to Sean, I find the 4 stroke ope ignitions to be less forgiving than 2 strokes! Lower coil resistances and weaker sparks.

I may be lucky! Dunno... A lot of the new Champion plugs I have in stock are like 15-20 yrs old. I bought a bunch in bulk long time ago. Maybe they are better built or quality???

I have seen some newer 4 stroke stuff with factory NGK. Weird new plug numbers and such. Just recently, my cousins boy got a 2016 Polaris RZR 170 EFI with an NGK CR6HSA. Had to order a few for him for the next couple of services as my town has squat for NGK sellers.

That's not a new number, it's a standard ngk copper core bottom of the line 10mm plug. Been using them for years in my zenoah rc engines. Husqy uses that size in its newer saws as well, just a cmr6h or cmr7h. Can't remember off the top of my head, the 562xp took one of them and my g320 zen engine takes the other.

 

[Chevboy0167]

Was just a plug I have not encountered till then. Funny you say 562, as I own 1 and never even checked to see what plug it uses! LOL

Husqy uses cmr6h (550xp mk2)....or bpmr7a (450 mk2)....

Thanks... I guess. I don't know why you quoted me.

Because you are (most probablly) saving money for another chainsaw whose sparkplug you won't recognize
