The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check
valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine performance.
If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened,
check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace fuel
cap if required.
SPARKING PLUG
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with 0.63 mm
(0.025 in) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and
replace annually.
