Hello:
How long, typically, is a spark plug good for in a typical lawn mower, and
also for a typical weed-wacker, before needing replacement ?
Assume, perhaps, once a week usage during the summer on each.
Thanks,
Bob

If it is kept dry it can easily outlast the motor, or several, a cheap
motor might get 100-300 hours life, but in your car the same plug lasts
5-10 times as long.

I don't know, but I do know I've never had the need to change one. They
outlasted the rest of the engine.

Hi,
I don't recall replacing one yet. Consider plugs on car engines last
100K miles or more nowadays.

Hope I'm not the only person that bought a mower engine plug. I've
even accidentally cracked ceramic on a new plug going into the truck,
but I'm cured now.
