I think the Champions we have in our BN2/100M are RN9YC; I can verify =
this weekend.

Never had much problems with trouble because of plugs on any of my =

important is to gap them, clean them once in a while and replace when =
they are to far gone. I do not think I even did that in the last ten =

cheap: between =E2=82=AC8 and =E2=82=AC15 for four.

I presume that electronic ignition (Pertronix in my case) may also help.
