How do I know if a spark plug is a resistor type?
Guys,
My DA50 uses an NGK CM-6 spark plug.
I went down to the local auto parts store, and ordered some of these CM-6 plugs.
They appear to be the same as the one that came with the engine, but I was just wondering what exactly makes the plug a resistor type plug? Physical characteristics? Thanks.

The NGK CM6 compact plug is not a resistor plug.
I don't believe there is any plug made to interchange that is a resistor plug.
A resistor plug is not needed because the spark plug cap has a resistor between the copper high tension lead and the coiled spring that contacts the top of the spark plug. The same system is used on the 3W ignitions. Also, the ignition is fully shielded to lessen the chance of RFI getting to the receiver.
