a new pawn shop opened up in the next town over, went there today after my brother had been and said they had some non running generators, brought home a Briggs storm responder 5500 watt for $150. it would just pop out of the carburetor.
first thing i noticed was a no name F6RTC spark plug, probably Torch brand.... Put a new NGK RC12YC equivelant in it.. 1st pull it fired right up and purred like a kitten... ran it for an hour under 50% load and it didn't miss a beat. i just need new PCV hose for the Valve cover to airbox, and a new gas cap for the tank.

Imagine, someone pawned this over a spark plug. Good find.

Stens now carries Torch plugs. Funny how most common Champ plugs there have been out out stock for over a year. Anything with a torch plug that comes in the shop gets replaced.

I was looking for a match to the RC12YC on Stens, it said something about how it's been changed to some other number.


"RC12YC is no longer available and has been superseded to 130526"
