hi all,
They do have resistor spark plugs to aid in suppression of interference from ignition systems on mowers ect. Next time you go to the mower shop and ask for a NGK resistor spark plug to suit. This may fix your problem. The resistor spark plug has the tip of the electrode within the color of the plug and is generally a larger socket size to the standard cj8 or equivalent. As to the recall, if you can not get it fixed just buy a second hand tank of the mower shop. Last one I bought was about $7. Another good idea is to install a fuel shut off tap and filter inline. I believe they are about $5 each, and by turning off the tap between uses you will avoid leaks and cut down loss of expensive fuel.
