Inspecting and Replacing
the Spark Plug
Use a Champion RJ-19LM or equivalent spark plug.
Check and gap the spark annually, and replace the
plug if necessary.
1.
Clean around the base of the spark plug.
2.
Remove the spark plug.
3.
Examine the spark plug and replace it if it is
cracked, fouled, dirty, or if the electrodes are worn.
Important: Do not clean the electrodes because grit
could enter the cylinder and damage the engine.
4.
Set the gap between
the electrodes on the
spark plug at 0.030 inch
(0.76 mm).
