SPARK PLUG SERVICE
Recommended spark plugs:
The gap should be:
PLUG WRENCH
0.028 0.031 in (0.7 0.8 mm)
SEALING WASHER
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly
gapped and free of deposits.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful
not to touch the muffler.
Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked
or chipped. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be
reused.
Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug cap.
Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
Measure the plug gap with a wire-type feeler gauge.
Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.
