Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is an important engine component,
which is easy to check. Since heat and deposits
will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, the
spark plug should be removed and checked in ac-
cordance with the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart. In addition, the condition of the spark
plug can reveal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Remove panels A, C and E. (See page 8-10.)
2. Remove the spark plug cap.
3. Remove the spark plug as shown, with the
spark plug wrench included in the owner’s
tool kit.
