snapped a spark plug this morning doing an early season tune up.

Looked for spare, couldn't find it.

Off to west marine (where last season they only sold the NGK for $21 a pop). "we don't stock that anymore. Nobody from MA to NY has one.

Then to Pep Boys. Nope.

Then to boaters world. Nope.

sparkplugs.com, YES. and they have the champion for only $6.00/plug so I bought a dozen.

BUT, I am out of commission for a few days..... UGH, just when things are starting to really heat up.

Gave me time to work around the house I guess. wife was happy.

sorry had to vent

If it's for a Evinrude Ficht I have 8 XC12PEPB that I have been trying to sell on craigslist for $4.00 a pop.

Bigcat, PM sent.

Zacs: I get my plugs on rockauto.com under 4$ ea.

Our mechanic always taught me to never throw out the old plugs. Always keep your most recent set as a spare, just in case..

wicked bummer though Zacs...

RIROCKHOUND 05-25-2007 07:31 AM

Yup..
WM has the %$%$%$%$-iest plug selection I have seen.
I wanted to do the Optimax on the r/v today.
Wont have them in through Monday.. if it wasn't such a pain to buy from a state system I'd go elsewhere,,, but they are good vendors when it comes to taking a P.O.
