OK, I've picked quite a few weed ceaters, chainsaws, leaf blowers etc from yard sales over the years and I've been trying to get them up and running. First thing is to dump the gas, then check the sparkplug to see if theres any spark left in it..

Here lies my delima: Where ccan I find a good cross reference for what plugs will work for these things.. I've got a bunch of various new sparkplugs I've pickled up through my years of yardsales and I'm hoping some will work in these old motors. Chanpions, NGK, and a few more I don't remember the letters on.

A computer program would be MOST awesome or even an app I could put on my cell phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a piece of paper around here that mentioned Jacks Small Engine and theres Chicanic but, I don't know if she has anything on her website.

I'm not in this as a business, I just have a HUGE shop in y backyard (14'x60' that's LOADED with tools and I've always liked working on small engines.. Got 3 or 4 books on repairing them but, lookin at the publishing date, they were written before computers came along.. Some of the basics are still applicable but, lets face it, they're almost better off going into my firep[ace in my shop to give me a little heat new and then.

OK, I'll shut up now.. Hope to hear some ideas soon.

Google “spark plug cross reference”, that’s how I do it. Sites will have the information.

First you look-up the IPLs to see what the OEM used before attempting to cross reference plugs. But one plug that seems to be a problem is the NGK-CRM6 and 7 plugs which I replace with the Bosch equal. Otherwise nearly everything gets crossed to NGK. Just cuts down the number of different in stock.

I also have a yard full of string trimmers that I am repairing to sell. I too dump the old fuel, replace the spark plug, air and fuel filters, and (before I remove and clean the carb) I try and see if they will turn over (hope springs eternal) The main function of a department store string trimmer is to get the user to become winded, frustrated, and dedicated to finding a retailer who deals in reputable equipment and ultimately purchasing one of the products they represent (Stihl, Echo, Shindaiwa, Redmax,etc.) If I can be of any assistance, please contact me via the site's email. As for your Alternate Spark plug crossover info, start with the User Manual for the trimmer. These can be downloaded as .pdfs for free on most manufacturers websites. After determining the manufacturers recommended spark plug from the manual, my goto publication is SPARKPLUG CROSSREFERENCE https://www.sparkplug-crossreference.com. I just googled "an alternative for a NGK BPMR7A spark plug" https://www.sparkplug-crossreference.com/convert/NGK_PN/BPMR7A. Click on the link, and check out the information that this site provides! Not only some alternative plugs but also Specs for your plug such as the hex size.
Good luck, and don't hesitate to reach out to me. My other than keyboard commando name, is Tim.
