    The plug chart above was created by the engineers from BRP/OMC, that is why it is called the factory plug chart. Advance doesn't usually carry Champion plugs that's why the back order. You can go to Autozone, O'reilleys or Napa and they will have them. You want QL78YC gapped at .030. Stock number 938-1.

    QL78YC gapped @ .030 Note 3 states the QL plugs are recommended because of their resistor properties. The NGK's aren't. I ordered mine from Oreillys auto parts and got 'em over night. Usually Autozone can do this also.....
