Thanks for that; I have searched for exactly that and failed miserably. It is with some shame that I realise the link you provide is from Mr Green's website. It was he who told me of the H and C bit, but I didn't find the extras. A short course in proper searching may well be in order!

Very useful.

Wonder what 'B' stands for in the heat range?

Well whatever 'B' stands for it's twice that, and, er, long.

I do notice that 'B' comes before 'C' (cold) and 'H' (hot), so it stands to reason it works at a lesser temperature than 'C'

Maybe it stands for 'Below Zero' or 'Bit colder than C' or even 'Bitter cold'

Maybe B for Baltic, BB for Bl**dy Baltic?

"B" denotes "Detachable plug" or two-piece. Not all were pink. The "BL" denotes for two strokes. (Extended Electrode runs hot enough to be anti-foul).

BBL is "equivalent" to;

Champion 8 Com (Champion England 15A)
AC 86, 86 Com, 87 Com
Autolite B9, BR8, BT8.
Bosch DM95T2
KLG M30 and SM30. (Nice Light Blue)
Edison 44 and 44HS

While all of these do the same sort of job they are ONLY Eqivs to manufacturer recommendations.

I prefer KLG M30 and Autolite B9.

Pyrox PT3K are yellow
