Install the spark plug. With the plug washer
attached, thread the spark plug in by hand to
prevent cross-threading.

Tighten the spark plug:
●
If the old plug is good:
1/8 turn after it seats.
●
If installing a new plug, tighten it twice to
prevent loosening:
a) First, tighten the plug:
1/2 turn after it seats.
b) Then loosen the plug.
c) Next, tighten the plug again:
1/8 turn after it seats.
NOTICE
An improperly tightened spark plug can damage the
engine. If a plug is too loose, a piston may be
damaged. If a plug is too tight, the threads may be
damaged.
10.
Install the parts in the reverse order of
removal.
u
When reinstalling the spark plug cap,
take care to avoid pinching any cables
or wires.
