Service Spark Plug
Change the spark plug every 100 hours of operation or once
each year, whichever comes first. This will help your engine
to start easier and run better.
1. Clean area around spark plug.
2. Remove and inspect spark plug.
3. Check electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and set
spark plug gap to 0.030 inch (0.76mm) if necessary.
4. Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned or
porcelain is cracked. Use the recommended
replacement plug. See
Specifications
.
5. Install spark plug and tighten firmly.
Clean Spark Arrester Screen
The engine exhaust muffler may be equipped a spark arrester
screen. If equipped, inspect and clean the screen every
50 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes
first.
If you use your water pump on any forest-covered, brush-
covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, it must have a
spark arrester. The spark arrester must be maintained in
good condition by the owner/operator.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot.
Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
• Remove spark arrester screen for cleaning and
inspection.
• Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or
otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a defective screen. If
screen is not damaged, clean it with commercial
solvent.
• Reattach spark arrester screen to muffler.
NOTE:
You can purchase a new spark arrester screen by
contacting your local Briggs & Stratton service center.
Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have an authorized Briggs &
Stratton service dealer clean the cooling system per
recommended intervals (see
Maintenance Schedule
in
beginning of
Maintenance
section). Equally important is to
keep top of engine free from debris. See
Cleaning
