    Spark plug # ?

    I have a 05 optimax 150 serial # 1B027977. Can someone tell me the correct NGK PLUG ? The plug I removed is NGK IZFR5G. Not saying it’s the wrong plug, just want to make sure it is correct. Thanks

    Welcome.

    Btw, there are several other very useful topics for your Optimax in the FAQ worth perusing if you're doing your own maintenance.
