Should I run an NGK or Champion in my 2011 Troy-Bilt Storm 2410? I believe it’s a Chinese MTD engine, and the stock plug is the dreaded Torch plug.
Those do work really well in Honda and Chonda engines. Also consider the BCPR6ES, which has a 5/8 hex instead of 13/16, and B(C)PR6EIX, which is iridium.NGK BPR6ES
Personally I would use the NGK Iridium BPR6EIX. I've had these installed in three "Chonda" motors, including two generators for over three years. I also have NGK Iridiums in two Honda GCV-160V motors. They might be BPR5EIX, the next heat range up, not that it matters. You won't be unhappy with NGK plugs.Should I run an NGK or Champion in my 2011 Troy-Bilt Storm 2410? I believe it’s a Chinese MTD engine, and the stock plug is the dreaded Torch plug.
I like those Champion EZ-starts in Tecumseh and Briggs engines as well as any Poulan/Weed Eater brand 2-stroke.If your willing to experiment and not follow the herd, see if you can find a Champion EZ Start or a Champion Premium.
The regular Champion plugs are NOT as good.
I bought a new Lawn-Boy 2-stroke mower right when they quit making them. They used a NGK plug from the factory in the Duraforce engines.
The Champion EZ Start plug lasted longer. I tried a cheap Champion plug and an NGK and the better Champion offering is a better plug.
Also, getting the correct plug when crossing over to another brand doesn't always happen and people swear off a brand because they unknowingly installed the wrong plug.
