3. Remove the spark plug; then attach the high tension
lead to the plug and ground the plug on the cylinder
head well away from the spark plug hole.
4. Attach the Compression Tester Kit (p/n 0444-213).
NOTE: The engine must be warm and the battery
must be fully charged for this test.
5. While holding the throttle lever in the full-open posi-
tion, crank the engine over with the electric starter
until the gauge shows a peak reading (five to 10
compression strokes).
NOTE: Compression should be within a range of
195-230 psi in the full-open throttle position.
6. If compression is abnormally low, inspect the follow-
ing items.
A. Verify starter cranks engine over.
B. Gauge is functioning properly.
C. Throttle lever in the full-open position.
7. Pour 29.5 ml (1 fl oz) of oil into the spark plug hole,
reattach the gauge, and retest compression.
8. If compression is now evident, service the top end
(see Engine/Transmission - Servicing Top-Side
Components).
Spark Plug
A light brown insulator indicates the plug and air/fuel ratio
are correct. A white or dark insulator indicates that the
engine may need to be serviced or the carburetor may need
to be adjusted. To maintain a hot, strong spark, keep the
plug free of carbon.

Adjust the gap to 0.6-0.7 mm (0.024-0.028 in.) for proper
ignition. Use a feeler gauge to check the gap.
ATV-0052A
A new spark plug should be tightened 1/2 turn once the
washer contacts the cylinder head. A used spark plug
should be tightened 1/8 - 1/4 turn once the washer con-
tacts the cylinder head.
Muffler/Spark Arrester
To clean the arrester, use the following procedure.
1. Remove the cap screw (1) securing the spark arrester
assembly (2) to the rear of the muffler. Account for a
gasket.

2. Clean the screen (3) with a brush and parts-cleaning
solvent. Dry with compressed air. If the screen has
any holes or tears, it must be replaced.
! WARNING
Always wear safety glasses when using compressed
air.
CAUTION
Before removing the spark plug, be sure to clean the
area around the spark plug. Dirt could enter engine
when removing or installing the spark plug.
! WARNING
Before removing the muffler/spark arrester, wait for it to
cool to avoid burns.
