    Spark Plugs

    Actually 2243 is the correct specified standard plug for the M38 which has a L134 engine. The 2245 would be an option for a hotter plug if fouling is an issue. 2245 is the specified standard plug for the M38A1 which has the F134 engine. The 2247 would be an option if fouling was an issue.
