[AT] Kinda Antique Tractor Question

Fri Nov 29 21:31:06 PST 2019

The plugs that are in it are a 2-3 years old. When I serviced it last, everything went to hell. I finally figured out that the new Champion plugs were both bad right out of the box. I put the old plugs back in and never bothered to get new plugs. Time to figure out the NGK cross reference I guess.
I can relate on slow internet. Someday I hope there will be reliable rural broadband in my area.

I  don't have access to my Onan parts books right now. and the D@#$%d Internet will not give me the spark plug for a P318 it keeps referring to a John Deere 318.  However, I think the spark plug for a P318 Onan and the old CCK Onan are different.  T he CCk takes a H8 or H10, but I think and this is a fuzzy memory, the P318 takes a J-8  There is a 1 or 2 thread difference between the H and the J series of champion. I don't use Champion plugs anymore, as they are crap.  I use NGK, but you have to cross them from a Champion as NGK's website is another pile of crap.  My internet is slower than dialup on weekend nights, untill the kids finally go to sleep

 Craig Warner AT List Member (mailto:craig.warner47346 at frontier.com); I’ve got a question that’s kinda antique tractor related (depending on how you define antique.) I have a 1992 Ingersoll 6018 with an Onan 16hp motor. It usually starts and runs great. Last few weeks it’s been terrible to start but then runs fine. I pulled the plugs today and the gap was close to nothing in both of them. Opened the gap to.030 and it fired right up. Why would the plug gap close? I had issues with them this spring and set it at that point.
