I stand behind NGK. I have tried them all and they seam to hold up the best. Splitfire also is pretty tough to foul.

I use the Champion RA6HC too, it seems to resist fouling fairly well, and when they do foul, if you clean them up they usualy still work, unlike with the NGK's.

NGK in every Honda I own.

Champions are for lawnmowers.

I am running an autolite in my 185s. Seems to be holding up good considering how much my carb is over fueling the engine.

I run champion in my 185 auto-x and my 200es, both machines have very good compression and no smoke but for whatever reason the champion plugs outlast the NGK's 3 to 1....however, both my 85 and 86 200X have been running on NGK's without a problem.

champion improved there higher output plugs for small engines. what use to be only good for lawnmowers and weedwackers is now a pretty solid set of plugs. NGK is no better then champion if you get the right plug for your trike.

Have to say I still lean towards NGK but........ a few months ago I needed a new plug for my 200es and the only place open was wally world. Picked up a Champion "Power Sports" plug (forgot the number) and she hasn't fouled it yet. Normally my Red eats plugs like I eat steaks.

Any plug can fail/foul...........even NGK. Use what works in your machine and always use the proper heat range with the correct electrode gap.
