SPARK PLUG
• A worn or fouled spark plug can cause a loss of power,
difficulty starting or rough idle (Figure 3).
• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it with a wire brush and check
the electrode gap. Readjust if necessary. The correct gap is
.020” (0.50mm).
• The spark plug should be replaced after 0 hours of operation
or earlier if the electrode is badly corroded.
• Always use the recommended spark plug type. Using the
wrong spark plug can severely damage the piston and cylinder
(see specifications for part #).
Figure 3
CARBURETOR
• The function of the carburetor is to mix fuel with air.
Adjustments other than idle speed should be made by a
servicing dealer.
•
Before adjusting the engine idle speed, make sure the air
filter is clean and the engine is warmed up.
T – Idle Screw

but the clutch does not engage.
