severe engine damage may occur.
1.
Remove spark plug and check
for fouling, worn and rounded
center electrode.
2.

damage engine.
3.
Adjust spark plug gap by
bending outer electrode.
4.
Tighten spark plug to 150–170 kgf•cm (130–150 lbf•in).
Cooling System
Level 2
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must
pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries
combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can
occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked,
preventing cooling air from
reaching the cylinder.
• Dust and grass build up on the
outside of the cylinder. This build
up insulates the engine and
prevents the heat from leaving.
