The two stroke outboard guys really seem to like these. Anyone here running iridium plugs with their fancy electronics?

I went with the NGK racing ones after having 2 iridium plugs failing to under 1k Kms each. The one I use on my P221 is B9EG…

I tried one last spring in the Allstate with a Pinasco 177 and a vape variable. Got about 8 miles from home and it just stopped. Would not kick start of bump start down a little hill. Put in a B7HS finished the ride and has been in there for the last 500+ miles. No issues, always starts first or second kick after sitting.
