If you've ever had to tow your jet ski or small boat back to shore because of a cold start, you know how important it is to use reliable spark plugs that don't foul and offer quick starts, like Autolite® Xtreme Sport® spark plugs.

"There are still a lot of watercraft models with two-stroke engines, which unfortunately are prone to spark plug fouling," said Dave Buckshaw, technical trainer for ignition systems with the Autolite® brand. "Our Autolite® Xtreme Sport® plugs significantly reduce the risk of fouling by using a 0.6mm finewire design which offers a more focused ignition. This design also provides up to a 26 percent quicker start and emits as much as 21 percent less hydrocarbon emissions than standard plugs."

Providing enthusiasts with more miles of playtime, the Autolite® engineers designed their iridium-enhanced Xtreme Sport® plug for improved ignitability, faster fuel combustion and more focused ignition versus standard plugs. Engineered to meet or exceed OE designs, they can withstand the extreme operating temperatures experienced during a powersports engine's combustion, as well as the harsh conditions in which they are used.

"A lot of enthusiasts don't realize that the Autolite® team makes plugs for powersports engines, but we actually have a very comprehensive line of products for watercrafts, jet skis, snowmobiles and four wheelers," Buckshaw said. "Plus, this line offers the same trusted technology found in our automobile spark plugs."

Autolite® Xtreme Sport® spark plugs are available at Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Meijer and NAPA, and they can also be ordered at your local watercraft dealer.
