Extended Product Information

FAQs

What engines is the NGK BR2-LM (5798) spark plug compatible with?

This spark plug is specifically designed for MTD 5.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engines. Always consult your engine's manual or compatibility guide to confirm.

What is the gap on this spark plug?

The NGK BR2-LM spark plug comes with a pre-set gap of 0.03 inches.

How often should I replace my spark plug?

Spark plugs are consumable parts and their replacement interval depends on usage and engine type. As a general guideline, inspect during annual maintenance and replace when worn or if performance issues occur. Refer to your engine's manual for specific recommendations.

Can I use this spark plug on other engine brands?

While it might seem similar, this plug is specifically engineered for MTD 5.5 hp B&S engines. Using it on incompatible engines can lead to poor performance or engine damage. Always verify compatibility.

What does the copper core do?

The copper core provides excellent thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate heat away from the plug's tip, which reduces fouling and ensures a more stable operating temperature for reliable ignition.

What happens if my spark plug is fouled?

A fouled spark plug has deposits on the electrode, which can prevent it from firing correctly, leading to misfires, rough running, and difficulty starting.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfires or runs rough

Check the spark plug connection. If the plug is old or shows signs of wear or fouling, replace it with a new NGK BR2-LM (5798).

Engine will not start

Ensure the spark plug is properly seated and the ignition wire is securely connected. A faulty spark plug may require replacement.

Difficulty starting after spark plug replacement

Verify the spark plug was threaded in by hand first to prevent cross-threading and tightened correctly. Ensure the ignition wire is fully connected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures proper ignition for MTD 5.5 hp B&S engines.
  • Copper core provides reliable electrical conductivity.
  • Pre-set gap simplifies installation.
  • Helps prevent engine misfires and performance issues.
  • Genuine service part for guaranteed fit and function.

Cons

  • Consumable part that requires periodic replacement.
  • Specific to certain engine types, not universal.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid damaging the electrode or insulator.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the engine is off and cool.
  2. Locate the spark plug on the engine cylinder head.
  3. Use a spark plug socket wrench to carefully remove the old spark plug.
  4. Visually inspect the new NGK BR2-LM spark plug to ensure the gap is still 0.03 inches and there is no visible damage.
  5. Thread the new spark plug in by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  6. Tighten the spark plug with the wrench. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

This spark plug is designed for MTD 5.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engines. Always verify your engine's specifications or consult your equipment manual to confirm compatibility before purchasing. The part number is 5798.

Care:

Spark plugs are not typically 'cared' for in terms of cleaning or maintenance. They are designed to operate until they wear out or become fouled by combustion byproducts. The best practice is to inspect them during routine maintenance and replace them as recommended by the engine manufacturer or when performance issues arise.
