I have one of those very common 650 watt two stroke chinese generators, a few years old but looks just like the current cheapies. Someone has clouted the plug cap and broken the insulator. It's a long-reach "full sized" plug. Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement? Is it likely to be fussy?
Spark plug for small genny?

Might want to check it wasn't too-long-a-reach and was clobbered by the piston, unless you happen to know it was working OK with that plug in the past...
Try a google and see what you can find out directly or by infering from spares available for others, then see which one looks like the one you have.
Take the broken one with you when you go to buy the replacement. Try a garden machinery place rather than a car place.
Plugs have a multitude or ratings, temperature bands etc etc. The thing would probably run with almost anything of the correct physical size but how long it would last is another matter.
I have the wolf 800 watt 2 stroke and this is the correct plug for it:- BR5ES NGK SPARK essential-classic-car-parts on ebay are a good suplyer and it cost £1.35 this time last year.
Hope that helps

For very many years the price of a spark plug (usually "Champion") was
5/- (25p to you youngsters), (as was a gallon of petrol).I'm showing my age now... :-)
If you carry that on then a plug should cost over £5 each now.
Excellent, just what I wanted, thanks
