Nova#5 turbo plug is the best for that motor. It comes with a #6 which it will run wel with- but the #5 will give it a stronger idle- less flameouts. Plus the way the motor likes to run with its slightly rich bottom end it makes up for it quite well.

My LHS does not stock the Novarossi's?

It will work- but not recomended. The 421B is a finicky motor when it comes to plugs and in most locations it doesnt like to run properly without a hot plug- the Novarossi T5TC is the best plug for that motor.

If you run a colder plug you will most likely have flameouts. www.rc-mushroom.com has them cheap.

lots of turbo plug angines only work well with specific turbo plugs, like skyline said, so stick with novarossi, or take out the turbo head and use standard plugs

At the moment I have a Nova RX21P5-T and I'm not sure what plug to get. Could someone please tell me what plug is in it, I could check but can't be bothered. And would it be okay just to buy whatever plug is in their at the moment. My LHS does stock Nova Rossi plugs.
Thanks

It comes with a C6TC- it's a good plug for that mill. ALthough things can vary due to your location- ambient temps, fuel, pipe, head clearance, elevation etc. More than likely that plug will be fine for your locale. If it flames out often try a hotter plug.
