my chonda unit came with this SAP branded F7TC model of plug. looking for a higher quality replacement, what equivalent NGK or Denso plug to get model number wise. is iridium available too?
whats a resistor spark plug? iv seen some in the ngk range that are platinum or iridium but use a resistor where as the BP7ES does not have a resistor in it.
With NGK plugs - the 'R' in the model number - it is a resistor plug. Either or will work, I just usually get the R version because it doesn't make a hill of beans difference to the spark....in the real world it either works or the ignition is shot.
The resistor accomplishes two things. 1. It limits the current of the spark but, not the voltage so plug electrodes last longer and 2. ir suppresses RF radio and TV interference. Ed
