Replacing the Spark Plugs

FOR MAINTENANCE” on page 20.) and pull the
spark plug wires off of the spark plugs.
2. Clean around the spark plugs and remove them
from the cylinder head.
3. Clean off carbon deposits on the spark plug
electrode using a wire brush or commercial
solvent. Do not blast clean.
4. Set the plug gap as recommended. Install the
correctly gapped spark plugs into the cylinder
heads.

Service Air Cleaner
The engine air cleaner is one of the most important
areas to maintain. The engine will not run properly and
will be damaged if it is run with a dirty air cleaner system.
Use only genuine Briggs & Stratton parts. The use of
replacement parts which are not
UL®
approved, may
damage the engine. Clean the foam pre-cleaner every
25 hours and the cartridge every 100 hours of operation.
Clean or replace more often in dusty or dirty conditions.
To service the air cleaner components:
1. Remove wing nut from top of air cleaner cover.
2. Remove winged from air filter retainer.
3. Service cartridge by tapping gently on a flat
surface. Do not oil cartridge. Replace if very dirty
or damaged.
4. Reinstall or replace air filter cartridge
5. Reinstall cover.
NOTE
: Do not use petroleum solvents, e.g.
kerosene, which will cause the cartridge to
deteriorate. Do not use pressurized air to clean
cartridge. Pressurized air can damage the
cartridge.
Valve Lash
Valve lash must be checked while engine is cold after
every 100 hours of operation. Adjust if necessary (See
“VANGUARD™ V-Twin OHV Repair Manual (#272144).”
Valve lash is: Intake and Exhaust 0.004 - 0.006 in. (0.10
- 0.15 MM.)
Cooling Fins
Periodically, check to make sure the engine cooling fins,
screens and carburetor ducting are free of leaves, grass
or any other type of debris.
