Thanks Mate! did it today and has really improved the starting.
yeh they use the same plug. the owner manual states NGK BP5ES or NIPPON DENSO W16EX-U for both 48.6(797cc) cube motor and the big 59.2(970cc) cube engine...
....its not miles per gallon its smiles per gallon....

Parts bloke secret... BP5ES & BP5EY are essentially the same plug Y means the electrode is split to allow the spark to form a bigger 'flame'. Also, the lower the number, the hotter the plug.
http://www.ngk.com.au has heaps of interesting info & not just on plugs. There is an explanation of their spark plug numbering system too.

So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
