Merc plugs

[BJ Laster]

What kind of plugs do i need to get for my Merc XR6 150?



Its starting a little slow and back in March (yes march) when i ran it a lot it ran kinda funny.



Wednesday was the first time i've really had the nitro out since the end of march...



It had a little trouble starting. Over the winter i put Sta-bil and did all the normal stuff for the winter. I remember i wasnt paying attention and put enough stabil in the tank for 65 gallons of gas in my 40 gallon tank. I'm sure i just fouled the plugs.

Go down to BPS...Lonnie will fix you up.

Is Lonnie the guy who works at the desk, if so, he seems like a great guy. He's very knowledgable and has always answered my questions (props to OKC BPS Tracker Service Center).

 

[Larry Harp]

Yeah, Lonnie is the dark haired kid that is at the parts counter. I think he was just a helper at the old Tracker Marine but I think he's like the parts manager at BPS. If he's not there just give up and come back another day.



Have you noticed that Norris Marine on I-35 in Norman is now a Tracker dealer?



Harpo

 

[BJ Laster]

Yes its been like that for a few months now. There were two Nitro Dealers at the Boat show.



Norris is a GREAT place. When i had my ranger i used them for my evinrude. I may start using them now for my Nitro/Merc stuff.

NGK's ONLY!

 

[JAMES MOORE]

Hang on to your hat when they tell you the price BJ. I payed $54.00 for mine.:huh:

 

[Larry Harp]

Didn't I see somebody here saying that you can get the exact same plugs at an auto parts store for much less? I would check around with auto and motorcycle parts dealers just to see.



Harpo

 

[TOMMY RICH]

Yes ....Advance Auto orederd for me at a lot cheaper price

 

[Larry Campbell]

Mercury parts express showed $13.09 for the NGK's for my 115. I bought the same exact NGK plug at O'Reilly's for $5.49 each. They did have to get them from their warehouse, but it only took one day. Worth the wait to me to save $7.60 on each plug.

I ordered them from advanced last week for $5.98 ea. You can get other plugs for less, but they don't perform as well.

No No! They don't preform at all on Merc's!
