Do these spark plugs perform better or is this a matter of opinion? The other thing is that often a new plug will be better than a worn out one and that often what people compare to. I see AutoMechanic gave you a laughing emoji.Put a new spark plug in it and see if that helps. I use E3 spark plugs in my OPE. They seem to work good for me.
just my $0.02
Probably opinion like many other replies on this board in general, but I do have several pieces of OPE that have E3’s in them along with 2 vehicles. I’ve had no issues with them.Do these spark plugs perform better or is this a matter of opinion?

Put the hotter one in. If it blows up put the 7 back in before you take it to service. I run a 6 in my Honda mower and have been for 8 yrars now, no issues, and I don’t have the above described plug issues.Time for a new plug. My Toro does the same thing after a couple years, although it starts good cold it usually doesn't start good hot when the plug looks like that. I'm guessing it's to cold of a plug for that engine but that's what the manual calls for, BPR7HS, the same engine a few years back called for the 6HS which is hotter, not sure I want to run a hotter plug, it's still under warranty.
I agree. Usually the easiest way to clean out the jets is to get it running without an air filter and once it’s running out a finger or rag or something to seal off the air intake and force it to suck fuel from the jets. Hondas often plug the idle jet circuit when sitting. It will run but not perfectlySince it's generator it probably sat to long and the gas got bad and plugged up the carb. Since it runs....... put some fuel system cleaner in the gas tank.
