Default Spark plug suggestions

Just wondering what higher performance spark plug will work with a 80cc=66cc 2 stroke engine and a good plug boot?

I was looking at a V-POWER NGK-BKR6E-11 not sure if that would work..Thanks a bunch

i just bought two B6HS', 3 feet of 7mm copper cored, non-resistant plug wire, 2 boots and end terminals (i don't have 2 cylinders, i just figured i'd stock up) for 8 bucks from my local supplier.

haven't put it on yet, but i'm sure it's the hot ticket...

What does hotter or colder mean for a spark plug? Does the engine actually run hotter/colder? Is the spark greater?

Hotter or colder refers to the heat range of the plug. This is how the plug transfers heat to the head to rid itself of heat. A colder plug may foul more easily, while a hotter plug can cause detonation (not likely in our engines) and other problems. Best to stay somewhere in the middle of the range for your engine.
No difference in spark generally.
