There were 3 generators that were available 30, 35 & 40 amps. To check the out puts one would have to check the model number.

Re: 54 Merc stumbles from a dead stop

Thanks for the information, I’ve got 9 boxes of new F10s that I guess would be suitable for a hippo Yblock if someone would be interested in them.

Re: F10 champion plugs

Well I’m assuming they aren’t worth much so I guess I’ll try a set in my 292 and see how it goes. They have been sitting in my shop for 40-50yrs and don’t remember where I got them from

Re: F10 champion plugs

Wonder when Champion stopped manufacturing the F10 and was it replaced by a new plug. Do new F10s have antique value?
