    Slightly hotter plug for a 185s? What part number?

    My plug fouls out on occassion, and it won't start unless I pull it out, clean it, and pop it back in. Then it runs fine the rest of the day. I seems to be fouling from a little too much fuel, not oil.
    I know putting a hotter plug in there is just a band-aid fix, but, I don't have time too mess with it (gotta work all week). I want to go riding all of Easter weekend and I'll fix it the right way when I have more time.

    Which plug number should I ask for? I only want 1 step hotter. Would this be something I could just walk into any Honda dealer and ask for and it would be a normal stocking item?

    hotter plug

    that would be a d-7 (in ngk). also,,, try gapping at 32 - 35 thousands (longer spark) instead of the 24 - 28 thousands.
