SPARK PLUG
Check the spark plug every 25 hours. Re-

pitted or burned or if the porcelain is cracked.
1. Make sure the spark plug is clean. Clean
the spark plug by carefully scraping the
electrodes (do not sand blast or use a wire
brush).
2. Check the spark plug gap with a feeler
gauge. See “Product Specifications” for
the correct spark plug gap and replace-
ment spark plug.
3. Before installing the spark plug, coat the
threads lightly with oil for easy removal.
Tighten the spark plug to a torque of 15
footpounds.
