Checking the Spark Plug
N
Clean dirty spark plug.
N
Check electrode gap (A) and
readjust if necessary – see
"Specifications".
N
Use only resistor type spark plugs of
the approved range.
Rectify problems which have caused
fouling of spark plug:
–
Too much oil in fuel mix.
–
Dirty air filter.
–
Unfavorable running conditions,
e.g. operating at part load.
Installing the spark plug
N
Screw home the spark plug, fit the
boot and press it down firmly.
If engine running behavior is
unsatisfactory even though the air filter
is clean and the carburetor and throttle
cable are properly adjusted, the cause
may be the muffler.
Have the muffler checked by a servicing
dealer for contamination
(carbonization).
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
