TOTH Make - Champion
Type - Electric

Here's another suggestion Neil, guess the spark plug type in your winning photo.

That's an easy one - it's a Lawn Mower plug - has to be!

How wrong could you be ?

It's not a lawnmower plug - at least not in this instance It's actually - technically - a rotavator plug ! I think it's a Howard Bantam rotavator.
Although the engine may actually originally be from a lawnmower

If anyone can correctly guess the make and spec of spark plug on their first try then I'll send them a used spark plug as a prize*.

Looks like this to me:

In which case it could be either a Champion Spark Plug 868/RJ19LM or maybe one of Briggs & Stratton 293918, 293923 or 29693?

or of course the NGK equivalent the BR2LM?

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong on all counts Mick. You're fired !

[mickthemaverick]

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong on all counts Mick. You're fired !

Thank god for that!! The one thing I definitely don't need is a used spark plug, I've got enough for my motorist's chess set that I keep threatening to make!!

How about a Denso W9LMR-US?

I have it in my head as a Champion J8 or J8c but it could be another makers equivalent.

Bloody hell ! Now that is genuinely impressive

A spark plug in its natural habitat - own work

I hesitate to ask - but what gave it away, Mr Gibbo ?

Stewards enquiry !!! I said Champion in my first guess and among my list of possibles which is half right, and you said Wrong wrong wrong wrong !!! I shall consider myself un fired and merely misdirected!!

[bobins]

The stewards have had their enquiry behind closed doors and they still say you were wrong. The correct make AND model was required and you didn't supply that. So nerr !!

[mickthemaverick]

I got the correct make without naming a model in my TOTH guess I shall be referring the matter to the appeal court on the grounds of insufficient diligence on behalf of the stewards, oh and my Dad's a policeman!!

I remember J8s from my earlier days, shorter than the regular length of thread.

[mickthemaverick]

Yes well done Gibbo, I recognised the short reach which I think I had in outboard motors when I was manning a sailing club rescue boat!!

Not a good idea to put butter in the microwave for 2' 22" on high
