West Bend 580 Plug

Post by Bill Hermsted » Fri Nov 08, 2013 2:34 pm

Hi- there' s a lot of stuff on the Vintage Kart site about the correct spark plug for an early 580. I can' t log on there, but I think some of you visit that site.
Anyway, my very first engine was a 580, and it came from the factory with an Auiolite AL5x. This is close to a Champion H8j. Both plugs have a 7?16 reach.
Regards, Bill

Autolite 4092

I've tried many, but this one started and stayed clean for the longest time.
