Terry, I would be surprised if you could not get Champion J8 anymore, used in a lot of garden machinery, mowers, etc, plus Bedford petrol engines used them, there are equivalents in NGK and other makes.

Degsy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I would definitely go for the equivalent NGK in this case B6S, had too many bad experiences over the years with Champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Champion J8C in my Bedford have been in there at least 15 years and never miss a beat. They are more reliable since having copper cores.

Tony B Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Take extra care fitting the back plug neareast the bulkhead. It is possible to think you have it in tight, and a get a hell of a fright when you start up and find out it isn't! Fortunatley it is as idiot proof as an engine can be. :red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil P Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 NGK B6S is the best plug for a T215 engine. Gap them at 0.030" for 'stock' ignition with 5 degrees advance 0.035" for electronic with 7 degrees advance. Sit back and enjoy the smooooth running. Champion was a crap name for a wonder horse so don't mess with the plugs! My MB j££££££££££p runs ok with Auto lite 295 but like a Dodge Charger with NGK! I put Champions in it when the engine was rebuilt but only to keep the threads clean when I painted the lump:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
