Which sparkplug?

What plugs are used in these in frame china girls? I know everybody says NGK B6HS. My real question is what are equivelents ( Heat range too ) in Champion,Autolite,Bocsh etc. if there are any. Thanks

SPARK PLUG CROSS REFERENCE

About 3/4 of the way down you'll see the B5HS plug and all it's replacements...

Got to love computers, Bikeguy says look below 3/4 way down, there is one other post about e5-12 withh a sparkplug website

but I could not open it except for the home page

We say just stick with NGK. Low cost, best, least prone to foul. You really might want to try NGK BP6HS. "P" is extended electrode.

Scroll for NGK plugs

Per our web page:

Quote:

NGK BP6HS.....with an extended tip, it centers the spark in the combustion chamber and actually displaces volume, effectively increasing compression ratio. An added benefit is with the protruding electrode the plug is even more foul proof than the standard B6HS. Also, the 6 is a cooler heat range for those hard max throttle runs.

Also in the "5" heat range.

It's a LOT better in the fouling department, and you just might feel a little power. Tiny difference but with a single cylinder so dependent on the plug, using the best plug is something we see as important.

Didn't we have a post about some one using a different plug and it stuck down into the chamber a little too far with the result of the piston head hitting it?
I know my memory doesn't work very well at times but I'm pretty sure I read something like that somewhere.

It could happen is someone used the wrong plug.
