The Honda 98076-57717 Spark Plug (BPR7HS) is a genuine OEM spark plug designed for EL5000, ES6500, and EX5500 generators as well as GX360 horizontal shaft engines. As a factory-authorized Honda part, this spark plug is manufactured to the exact heat range, gap specification, and thread dimensions Honda specifies for these engines — so you're installing exactly what came out. Verify part number 98076-57717 against your machine's serial number using the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at production breaks.
Key Features
- Correct Heat Range for the Application — the BPR7HS designation confirms the heat range, thread reach, and electrode configuration Honda specifies for these engines; an incorrect heat range causes fouling at low loads or pre-ignition at high loads
- Genuine OEM Honda Part — sourced directly from Honda, so the firing characteristics, electrode gap, and resistor rating match what the engine's ignition system is tuned around
- Covers Multiple Honda Applications — listed for EL5000, ES6500, and EX5500 generators and GX360 horizontal shaft engines, including the wide range of equipment those engines power
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates components at production breakpoints, so confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table to ensure this is the correct plug for your unit
- Maintains Clean, Consistent Ignition — a worn or fouled spark plug causes hard starting, rough idle, and power loss; replacing with the correct OEM plug restores a strong, consistent spark and full combustion efficiency
A spark plug ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture inside the engine's combustion chamber, and every aspect of its design — heat range, electrode gap, and insulator length — is matched to the specific demands of the engine it serves. In generators like the EL5000, ES6500, and EX5500, and in GX360 engines, the plug must fire reliably across a wide range of load conditions and ambient temperatures. When a spark plug wears out, the electrode gap widens, ignition becomes inconsistent, and the engine can exhibit hard starting, misfires, rough running, or a noticeable drop in output power.
