SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE

The spark plug is important for proper engine operation. A good spark plug should be intact, free of
deposits, and properly gapped. Refer to Recommended Maintenance Schedule. To inspect the spark
plug:
1. Remove spark plug boot. Be careful not to tear insulation or wire.
2. Unscrew the spark plug from the engine using the spark plug wrench provided. There is limited
space for the wrench to turn. Use both rows of holes in the spark plug wrench to gain leverage to
loosen the plug.
3. Visually inspect the spark plug for cracks or excessive electrode wear. Replace as necessary.
4. Measure the plug gap with a wire gauge. The gap should be 0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.028-0.031 in).
5. If re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean any dirt from around the spark plug base then
re-gap the spark plug.
6. Screw the spark plug back into the spark plug hole using the spark plug wrench. Do not
over-tighten spark plug. Recommended tightening of spark plug is ½ to ¾ of a turn after spark
plug gasket contacts spark plug hole. Reinstall the spark plug boot.
