Someone in this thread blew up their motor with those plugs: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry14344229. 7hp or reliable engine?
Someone also didn't torque the plug properly.

Not having the plugs at the proper torque can score the cylinder walls and fry an ignition coil? News to me..

loose spark plug = melted coil = dropped plug electrode = dead motor

Either way from all the info I've gathered I would say a fresh set of OEMs would be best.
