The recommended spark plug gap for a Craftsman snow blower using the RN9YC spark plug is typically 0.030 inches (0.76 mm). It's important to check the owner's manual for your specific model, as some variations may exist. Always ensure the gap is set correctly for optimal engine performance.
Try drying off the spark plug and spark plug wire area with a hair dryer. The engine may be flooded now so remove the spark plug and let the spark plug and cylinder dry out also.
No, propane does not require a smaller spark plug gap. The spark plug gap should be set based on the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific engine, regardless of the fuel being used. It is important to follow the spark plug gap specified for the engine to ensure proper combustion and performance.
Some spark plugs can contain beryllium in the electrode tip for improved performance and durability. However, not all spark plugs use beryllium, as there are alternative materials available that can be used in spark plug construction. It is important to check the specifications of a specific spark plug model to determine if it contains beryllium.
A good substitute for the Champion RC87YCL spark plug would be an NGK iridium spark plug, such as the NGK 7397 (ILTR6G8G) or the NGK 4469 (ILTR5A-13G). These plugs are known for their durability and performance, offering a reliable alternative to the Champion plug.
Pull the wires out of the top of the motor, they have a long plastic boot on the end of the wire. Using a spark plug socket and a long extension you will be able to remove the spark plugs. Check the gap on your new plugs and I like to use a section of hose that fits on the top of the spark plug to to thread the plug back in. That way you reduce the chance of cross threading. Once you get them started you can tighten them down. I usually replace the wires when I replace the plugs. I would suggest replacing the plugs/wires one at a time to reduce the risk of mixing the wires up.
Champion
Spark Plug gap is .025
Champion RDJ7Y is the correct number.
Yes
Mine has original plug, it is a: Champion # CJ8Y
Most snow blowers have the spark plug on top of the motor :to change a spark plug you get a spark plug wrench (take wire cap off the plug) put wrench on spark plug then turn counter clock wise to take it out. To put a new one back in reverse the proses

The Champion spark plug that replaces the Torch F7RTC is the Champion RN9YC. This replacement spark plug has similar specifications and is suitable for various applications that require a spark plug with comparable performance. Always double-check compatibility with your specific engine to ensure optimal performance.
