Live in Snow Country? E3 Spark Plugs Says March is Ideal for Springtime Maintenance.
Mar 09, 2011
E3 Spark Plugs offers tips to make sure your motorized toys and tools are ready for springtime.
Come March 17, just a week away, spring will have officially sprung and people everywhere will be happily anticipating some warm-weather fun. Of course, many will be anticipating for a bit longer than others. Those living in the nation’s northernmost states may see another snowstorm or two before the grass greens and the locals don tank tops and flip flops. Either way, E3 Spark Plugs says March is the ideal time for springtime maintenance on all those motorized rides and tools that you’ll be using when the higher temperatures return.
Top priority might be your lawn and garden tools, including lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and chainsaws. If you haven’t already, replace the spark plugs, drain the old oil and gas and fill up anew, replace filters, sharpen or replace dull blades, and repair or replace any broken or worn parts including grips, cables and belts.
Itching to take that ATV out of the garage and hit the trails? Or are you an avid angler looking forward to some time on the water? Now is the time to replace the fluid in the lower gearbox of your boat’s outboard motor and replace the oil and fuel in your ATV. Also pick up new sets of boat spark plugs or powersports / performance spark plugs, including a back up set and a plug wrench to keep in your tackle box or ATV toolbox. Check E3 Spark Plugs’ online catalog to find just the right plugs for your tools and toys.
While you’re at it, it’s also a great time to check your wallet for expired driver’s licenses, fishing and hunting licenses or firearm licenses. Also check your tags and inspection stickers to make sure they’re still valid. Better to spend a few minutes now than to have your day on the water or the trails cut short when you get busted for past-due renewals.
Winter Maintenance for Your Power Tools Starts with E3 Spark Plugs
Feb 03, 2011
Show your powertools some wintertime TLC with tips from E2 Spark Plugs. They'll thank you come springtime.
It’s wintertime, which means your grass ain’t growing and you’re soaking up some sofa time and planning your Super Bowl party. Meanwhile, your lawn mower, hedge trimmer, leaf blower and chainsaw are stowed away in a lonely corner of your garage collecting dust. E3 Spark Plugs offers a few tips to show your trusty lawn and garden power tools a little wintertime TLC so they’ll be revved up and ready for springtime.
- Give ‘em a good cleaning. Use a high-pressure spray to douse the underside of your lawn mower. This will help clear away stuck-on-grass, dirt and other debris. Wipe down your chainsaw to remove oil and wood chips. And use an air hose to blow clean your leaf blower and hedge trimmers.
- Drain ‘em. Any power tools that run on four-stroke engines should be drained of oil at the end of each season. Flushing the oil chamber with a flushing oil will give your small engine a thorough cleaning. Pour the correct amount of new oil into the crankshaft and tighten down the drain plug before storing your tools away for the cold season.
- Check for rust. If you spot rust on a painted part, apply a bit of fresh paint around it to keep the rust from spreading. On non-painted parts, apply a bit of oil or corrosion block.
- Check for and replace any broken, damaged or worn grips, cables or belts.
- Remove and sharpen or replace dull lawn mower, hedge trimmer and chainsaw blades.
- Make a list of all the replacement parts you’ll need to get your lawn and garden power tools back in new working order. A set of E3 lawn and garden spark plugs, air filters, coils or ignition parts, new oil and gas are likely to be on your list. If you haven’t already, make a list of all your power tools’ model and serial numbers to make your shopping trip quick and easy.
Follow these tips and you’ll be back to sofa surfing and Super Bowl partying in no time. And you’ll have peace of mind that all your lawn and garden power tools will power up with no trouble come springtime. Be sure to visit the E3 Spark Plugs online catalog to find the right spark plugs for your lawn and garden power tools and visit our website to find a nearby retailer stocked with E3 lawn and garden spark plugs.
Spark Plug Trouble in Cold Weather
Nov 26, 2010
A wintertime dip in temperatures can put a damper on your vehicle’s engine performance, and your spark plugs may play a role. But that role may start with your battery. There are several tricks to pinpoint the cause of a sluggish cold-weather start.
The coming cold weather can affect your vehicle's engine and spark plug performance.
The first word of advice is this: Don’t let a sluggish start tempt you to run out and buy hotter car or truck spark plugs. The operating temperature of your vehicle doesn’t change with the climate temperature. So it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a tank top or a duffle coat – stick with the manufacturer-recommended spark plug for your vehicle.
Cold temperatures render batteries less powerful. Cool weather causes an increase in electrical resistance in most electrical circuits, including your vehicle’s ignition. So if your vehicle was slow to start (or failed to start) it may be because the battery did not provide your spark plugs enough energy to bridge the gap and make a spark. To remedy this, check the gapping. Properly gapped spark plugs require less energy to create the spark that gets your engine running.
Also check to see if your spark plugs are fouled or worn. Many drivers put off checking their spark plugs until the absolutely have to, which typically happens at the first major cold snap of the winter season. Multiple failed cold start attempts can cause your engine to be flooded with gasoline. This “wet fouling” can soak the plugs and bleed off the ignition voltage before they’re able to form a spark. Spark plugs electrodes that are simply worn over time require higher voltage.
No matter the condition of your spark plugs, your car’s engine needs a little more TLC in the wintertime than it does during warmer weather. Mechanics recommend letting your car warm up for five minutes or so before taking it on the road, particularly at freeway speeds.
If it’s time to replace your spark plugs, check the E3 Spark Plugs website to make sure you’re getting the right plug for your car, truck, motorcycle, powersports vehicle or lawn and garden equipment, and to find an authorized E3 retailer near you.
E3 Spark Plugs Small Engine Plugs – For More Fuel Economy & Less Emissions
Sep 27, 2010
E3 Spark Plugs, with unique DiamondFire technology, deliver higher fuel economy, lower emissions and improve engine performance for all small engines including: blowers, weedeaters, generators, and lawn mowers. Test results demonstrate a 6-12% improvement in horsepower under typical operations, and increased fuel economy of 3-13%, depending on engine class. Hydrocarbon emissions in small enngibnes after 50 hours of use was reduced by 42%, and carbon monoxide emissions were reduced up to 58%. Outdoor power equipment lasts longer and runs stronger because of reduced carbon buildup.
One particularly thrilled customer sent in the following testimonial:
E3 lawn & garden spark plugs can give your lawn mower a power boost and reduce the amount of gas you'll need to complete the job.
My name is David and I just wanted to write E3 Spark Plugs about their magnificent product and the spectacular performance it has provided to my 1998 Lawn Boy (2-Cycle) Push-Mower! My experience began one Thursday evening when I had family arriving to stay at my home that weekend. During the middle of mowing my lawn, the mower started missing terribly and puffing smoke out the air filter. Surely, I thought this was the end of my lawnmower since it was coming to the end of its life-cycle (I have had it for over a decade). After attempting every simple repair to finish the remaining three-quarters of my lawn left to mow, I concluded that it must have been the ‘new’ sparkplug of my old brand that I purchased just this spring in April. It was only the beginning of June. This means I only used my lawnmower approximately 6-8 times already, which isn’t anything for a sparkplug and a regularly maintenance and tuned lawnmower.
Therefore, I went to my local Menards to purchase a new sparkplug for the lawnmower as the last possible resolution to my much needed repair. To my astonishment my sparkplug type was sold out and I needed a new sparkplug today, so I utilized the Menards sparkplug guide to find a comparable sparkplug for my Lawn Boy and it specified your E3.10 Spark Plug. Worried a little about the price, I reviewed the package and all the details that your product provides and I was sold on the ‘Energy, Efficiency, and Ecology’ that is on the back of your package. After getting home and removing the old sparkplug that was already ‘worn’ and replacing it with your E3 Spark Plug, it delivered everything that was promised on your package!
My Lawn Boy took off like it was brand new, with just one pull (instead of at least 3-4 with old sparkplug), I also had to turn down the throttle/choke to nearly half as the mower had way too much power, and I can mow my entire yard on one tank of gas in the lawnmower instead of 1.5 tanks! It’s incredible and my wife loves that I don’t smell like “lawn-mowing” anymore when I come inside like I use to with the old sparkplugs…You can barely even smell or tell I finished mowing my lawn! This product is incredible and I normally never write testimonials. But, your sparkplug has made my old 1998 Lawn Boy into a brand new lawnmower for only around $7! It’s unbelievable and keep up the great work, I have been telling all my neighbors, friends and colleagues about your sparkplug for their lawnmowers!
Thanks for not making lawn mowing a dreaded chore anymore!
Backed by a five year, 100,000-mile warranty, E3 Spark Plugs with DiamondFire technology are also available for most automotive and motorsports applications at automotive retail stores nationwide. For more information and complete test results, visit www.e3sparkplugs.com.
