SPARK PLUG

 

CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHECKING THE 

SPARK PLUG GAP 

Reference engine owner’s manual for spark plug 

locations. 

 

1. 

In order to access the spark plugs it is 

recommended to remove the rear engine cover. 

This can be accomplished by removing the four 

carriage bolts using a 9/16” wrench. 

2. 

Remove the spark plug cap and use an 

appropriate socket to remove the spark plug. 

3. 

Check the gap of the spark plug by using a feeler 

gauge and set gap to the recommend value in 

the engine’s service manual. 

4. 

If the spark plug is worn, overheated, wet or 

carbon-fouled replace the spark plug. 

5. 

Install the plug into cylinder head and torque to 

the recommended specifications in engine’s 

service manual. Be careful not to overtighten the 

spark plug.
