430LC spark plug

It doesn't get anymore basic than this. I guess this applies to 400 & 500LC's as well. What plug do you like to use & what gap?

NGK B8ES
simple reliable

ngk b8es for me in all swedes. would use a nippon denso equivalent i needed to tho. ill admit i set it by eye anymore but when running the motoplats i set it a hair tighter than book spec. even better, i like to pair that up with the hard plastic ngk cap as well. i wont use chumpions in anything. i take them out and install ngk. my husky line trimmer came with a champion and the tuneup kit came with an ngk.

When people have trouble starting their Husky with their NGK fitted I hand them a Champion N3C and away they go. Trouble is they never return the plug to me! This is just my experience with the early 80's two stroke models running both Motoplat and PVL ignitions.

I was just wondering guys. I have been using NGK B8ES & used splitfires for over 20 years but they don't make them anymore. B8ES is whats in it now. What gap you guys at?

B8ev at 0.5mm
But mine is a bitch to start.
Going to try a BP7ES.
Hopefully it will burn clean easier when I'm crusing.

I have a B8ES in mine @ .32 gap. Stick it in 2nd gear, rock it back & forth a couple times to prime the cyl., place back in neutral, then one or two kicks with the choke on & BOOM! Try that Nikel.

mine has some old bosch plug ..I think it was std...or did I replace it? not sure.. might look.. gap? yep there is one

Usually do just that.
Works when cold but is a real bitch when warm.
Need some work on the jettings on 0-1/4 throttle.

Got myself the Bp7es today witch is the equivalent of the Autolite 4055 that Husqvarna recommends.

Make sure you give it some throttle when hot. No throttle when cold

Yep Bosch as fitted by the factory.

This is what the tech. data sheet says. I never tried one.

Autolite makes a good plug
as good as any other plug you will screw in your 430

Bp7es and 0.5 gap works fine.
