I have two 3 hp St Lawrence singles, and now a 6hp St Lawrence twin, and there are 4 different spark plugs in them�. What would be the proper spark plug for them? I�ve tried searching through this website but can�t find an answer�

With buzz coils just about any plug that fits the hole will work. Put the two that are the same in the twin.

Before about 1940 plug used 1/2" NPT thread. Autolite 3095 is ok and available at auto parts stores.
After 1940 plug used 18mm thread.
Champion D23 is a good choice, is very hot and is available but requires a search effort to locate source.

Surprisingly enough I bought some Autolite 3095, and they wouldnt fit, I checked the plugs that were in it and they are 18mm thread, so either I have an oddball or someone put later heads on an early model, its serial number 583, so that puts it pre 1920, so Ive ordered some D23s

I found the same thing with my 3 hp St.Lawrence. A 3095 would not fit. A Champion 525 would.

Cheers!
