Greetings from down below. I have a Gunsmith with a 5hp Villiers and a Garner with a 7hp Villiers engine. Can someone help me with the correct spark plug recommendation for these engines please and bearing in mind that most of the time these engines are running cold? Im currently running N4C Champion

Gordon, can you tell us which model of Villiers engine eg Mk25. Here in the UK the Gunsmith and Garner usually had JAP engines fitted.

Sorry my apology I have been working a Villiers and it was stuck in my head. You are correct they both are fitted with JAP engines and I am looking for a spark plug recommendation for these JAP engines. Most automotive parts retailers dont even have catalogues now and if you ask for a listing for a JAP stationary engine they ask which Japanese car do you have?????
Many thanks

Spark plug recommendations as follows.
4/2 2.4hp Lodge CN
4/3 3.5hp Lodge CN
5 4.5hp Lodge CN
6 5.5hp Lodge CN
Looking on the Green Spark Plug company website they list Lodge HPN, NGK A5FS and Bosch MA95T1 as alternatives. Lodge CN is out of stock.
