Oh, yes, that spark plug, 18mm (if I remember correctly, as it has been literally decades since I have seen the original plug for my Toad-ary), tapered seat. What I did was to fabricate an aluminum spark plug adapter that has the correct threads inside and out, so it threads into the rotary housing, and holds a 3/4 inch reach regular NGK spark plug, nothing special.

The heat range is cold, down around a 9 to 9.5 NGK range. Although the ignition is a point triggered CDI, keep the plug gap down, .025 is just fine. DO NOT USE A PROJECTED TIP TYPE SPARK PLUG.

IF the thing keeps fouling spark plugs, fix the carb, float level (actual liquid fuel level in the carb bowl), jetting, and/or power port setting.

9, 9.5.

Please read up on the power port setting, it has to be done with a protractor scale that affixes on the primary throttle shaft, reads 20 degrees of shaft rotation, port opens.
