But then no matter what the odds, if you have enough tries the chances are good. If the chance is one in a million and there are 30 or so million occurrences each year it gets more likely. The rarity is greater that it happen to one individual who only buys a house / car every few years.
BTW - FLAPS didn't have the NGK plug I needed for my 'new' generator, but suggested an E3 instead. At $5.97 each I'm not surprised ;-) Claims it is a VERY good plug. We shall see. Got a quart of Mobil 1 15W-50 extended service detergent [detergent oil is specified in the manual Russ found for me] just to complete the overkill.
