Maintenance

Spark Plug Service
Recommended spark plugs:

MP160; BPR6ES (NGK)
MP240, MP340, MP390; BPR5ES (NGK)
MP270; BP6ES (NGK)

To ensure proper engine operation, the spark
plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits.

If the engine has been running, the exhaust will
be very hot.

Be careful

Do not to touch the silencer.
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Use the wrench supplied in the tool kit to remove the spark plug.
4. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the

spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused.

5. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge.

Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.
The gap should be: 0.70-0.80 mm (0.028-0.031 in)

6. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition, and thread the spark plug in by 

hand to prevent cross-threading.

8. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench to compress the washer.

- If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the
washer. If reinstalling a used spark plug, tighten 1/8-1/4 turn after the spark plug seats to
compress the washer.

NOTICE
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug can
become very hot and could damage the engine. Never use spark plugs that have an
improper heat range. Use only the recommended-spark plugs or equivalent.
