Sparky Plug

[I Know Something]

What's the general conscience on E3 spark plugs? Worth a darn? Bad experiences? Good ones? Fill me in.

Get the correct ngk plug for your saw

there junk

Gimmick, they spark and run, but not a power adder, the only benefit I could see is stable gap. But you also can’t adjust the gap, and that is something I really like about conventional plugs. The negative I see is a hindrance in the initial flame front and a dead unburnt spot behind the massive ground strap and not being able to adjust the gap, generic heat ranges and cost! Lol

??? They are gapable.

So, here's my story. My craftsman mower was running pretty bad a few years ago. Put one in. It ran and still runs fine. My craftsman chainsaw was running bad. Put one in and it's still running great. So, I didnt know if it was a trend if if Craftsman stuff likes it? I know power gains is a mostly laughable claim. But it running better when its getting old or with non optional fuel seems to be where it works well.

The ones I have seen look like this
But I see they have these to
So ya you can easily gap the second plug, the other isn’t so fun, the second is basically a conventional plug with a funky strap, the fist plug has a cage around the electrode

Looks *f-wordy to me...

Not a fan of all that extra garbledy-guck hanging out there.
NGK's have proven themselves over and over to me.

Thought i read on ope that ngk plugs quality had degraded. Eh?

I have a few ngk issues over the years, but it’s still my preferred plug, recently I have had the porcelain around the electrode crack and float and thank god didn’t come off or break apart! One in a saw the other in a quad, the one in the quad failed in 5 minutes of run time, I don’t know if it could have been damaged in shipping possibly of failed from use

Garbage just saying and the price no thanks but this is just my option.

If your machine won't run well with a new NGK or Denso then you need more than just a new spark plug!

Not by me eh.

 

[MG porting]

NGK is all I'll ever run for now on in any chainsaw I own or build for someone else there the top brand of spark plug unless you drive a older Ford truck like me then just go with the Autolight plug.lol no just kidding NGK trust me you'll be happy.

 

[huskyboy]

The newer bosch plugs for saws that say made in china are junky too imo. Replaced them with ngk.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Only thing that should get a Bosch plug would be an old European car.

I've only seen the second one.

Let's see, U groove, Splitfire, E3 and a bunch of others. They are all gimmicks. If you run a standard plug with the correct heat range and keep the electrodes filed flat and properly gapped will perform as good as it gets. The snake oil marketing wanks hawk their BS with the usual lack of any real engineering.
Many avaition plugs have multiple ground electrodes but that is for redundancy not performance. Same for some marine plugs.
It is amazing how many companies since the invention of the car have made magic products you can pour into your gas tank or oil pan or bolt on to fix anything, maybe even cancer. Magnets on fuel lines, super spark plugs, ionizing fuel pellets, directional plug wires, gap boosters, etc. Too bad all of those engineers who actually design equipment don't know about these miraculous products.
