FUEL SEDIMENT CUP CLEANING
The sediment cup prevents dirt and water that may be in the fuel
tank from entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been run
for a long time, the sediment cup should be cleaned.
1. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position
(see Fig. 14).
2. Remove the sediment cup, O-ring, and filter.
3. Clean the sediment cup, O-ring, and filter with non-
flammable or high flash point solvent.
4. Reinstall the filter, O-ring, and sediment cup.
5. Turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position and
check for leaks.
SPARK PLUG SERVICE
You will need a spark plug wrench (sold separately) to service the spark plug.
Recommended spark plugs: NHSP LD F7TC
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. If the
engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
1. Remove the spark plug cap (see Fig. 15)
2. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Use a spark plug wrench 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. If necessary,
correct the gap by carefully bending the side electrode
(see Fig. 16).
NOTE: The gap should be 0.70 to 0.80 mm (0.028 to 0.031 in.)
(see Fig. 16).
6. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition, and thread
the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross threading.
7. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug wrench
to compress the washer.
8. 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 to 1/4 turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer.
WARNING: Tighten the spark plug securely. An improperly tightened spark plug can become very
hot and could damage the engine. Never use spark plugs that have an improper heat range.
