I've had the same 'Torch' plug in my pressure washer since it was new, about 10 years ago.
Just another junk chainsaw

So you do like your Chinese junk.
NGK made in China and several 3rd world countries too. They try to hide it by not putting on the plug itself.
Only their Japan made ones is marked on plug.
One China and one Japan. How my batches were one time years back when ordered.
Only plugs over all the years to give me troubles is NGK. Why I swore them off many years ago and only used Bosch German made.
Had NGK be bad right out of the boxes missing like bad coil.
No they was not counterfeits like people oreder through amazon and ebay. I order from same place dealers order bulk plugs.
But now days does not matter. So I use them all. They all using China and where ever anymore.
Heck in twin riding mowers a set of NGK was missing at 75hrs. The Champions in other one had 400 hrs and never missed a beat. I went ahead and changed both since the NGK's were missing. I put Champion in the one again and NGK in the other.
If you notice the Autolite thin wire I put back in the G111 above on right. It was made in USA.
But they are now using Mexico on some of them.
Only thing with their plugs they little longer from cylinder out. So dont fit some ope that is close to covers under there.
Only their Japan made ones is marked on plug.

The 64 dollar question is, where did the ground strap go and what did it do? I will say one thing I have never had an issue with are sparkplugs.

Some time ago a neighbor dropped off a saw that he was tired of fussing with, finally got around to looking at it. Stripped the bar and covers to look / clean things, the only obvious problem I could see was that the snap in primer bulb was missing. Since I needed one a while back, I order a lot on ebay as 8 was about the same price as one here in the stores. Popped it in and it fired right up and ran nice, might need to set the idle up a bit is all. Nice little Dolmar 32 with a new chain and sharpened serviceable one.

Where did it go. Thats easy inside p+c squish area and beat to heck. Guy is going to cut squish, base and new piston.
New Denso plug going in.
I am ordering those next time too. Japan made and never heard a complaint in ope to date.
Denso - They say they put the location where their plugs are made right on plug. Dont try to hide it like ngk does on their China and Thailand made plugs on boxes only.
But they do use China too for some plugs. Straight from their website. All DENSO Spark Plugs are manufactured in Japan, Indonesia, China and USA.
Just so we know.
I guess big supplier for Toyota too.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and filed down spark plugs to clean metal, re-gapped and put them back in. Never thinking about what those metal shavings did to the cylinder. Never on much more than an old lawnmower that did not run well, probably because my older brother did the same thing. 
I think I still have a side gapped plug in a bin. Till I figured out which shorter plug I could run back then to replace it.Reminds me of when I was a kid and filed down spark plugs to clean metal, re-gapped and put them back in.

Denso plug I have on order. Big porter only uses these and never had one fail like ngk does. Knock on wood.
