How to Prepare Your cultivator for Restarting
In the Spring, when you take your cultivator out of storage, remove
the spark plug. Pull the starter cord three or four times to clean oil
from the combustion chamber. Wipe oil from the spark plug. Place
the spark plug back into the cylinder. Reconnect the spark plug
wire back on the spark plug. Then follow the steps to refuel and
restart your cultivator.
Re-Starting Problems After Storage
If your cultivator won’t restart in the Spring - or if it lacks its usual
power - the carburetor may need attention or the spark plug
may be at fault. Check to see if the plug is fouled with oily black
deposits. Clean or replace it if it is.
Also, check whether the center electrode is rounded at the end,
or if the ground electrode is worn. If either is the case, you should
replace it with a NHSP L8RTC or NGK BPMR7A spark plug. Use a
19 mm spark-plug wrench to install it. Adjust the plug gap to 0.5 -
0.7 mm (0.020 - 0.028 in.). To install the spark plug first turn the
plug until it is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with
a socket wrench.

NOTicE
To avoid possible damage to the threads, do not try to remove the
plug from a hot aluminum cylinder head.
