SPARK PLUG
CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHECKING THE
SPARK PLUG GAP
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 1/2” ratcheting wrench.
2.
Remove the wire on the spark plug and use an
appropriate socket to remove the spark plug.
3.
Check the gap on the spark plug to verify that it is
0.03” by using a feeler gauge.
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
engine manufacture specifications. Be careful not
to overtighten the spark plug.
