Setting the Spark Gap
1. Before setting the spark gap on a used plug, pass a contact point file between the electrodes to pro-
duce flat, parallel surfaces to facilitate accurate gauging.
2. Use a wire type gauge. Bend the outside or ground electrode so only a slight drag on the gauge is felt
when passing it between the electrode. Never make an adjustment by bending the center electrode.
Set gap (A) to 0.027 to 0.031 in. (0.69 to 0.79 mm) (Figure 13-5, Page 13-7).
Spark Plug Installation
NOTE: Before installing the plug, check the condition of the threads in the cylinder head. Soften deposits in
cylinder head threads with penetrating oil and clean the threads with a tap if necessary.
1. Install the spark plug and thread it in until finger tight, then tighten the spark plug to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Prior to attempting time-consuming repairs to the cylinder assembly, a cylinder compression test should be
performed using a standard compression tester. Low compression would normally indicate a problem in the
cylinder assembly such as defective rings, gaskets, etc. At a cranking speed of 550 - 600 RPM, the compres-
sion should be approximately 71 psi. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Key-start engines are equipped with an automatic compression release valve. This valve releases
pressure at lower speeds, resulting in lower compression.
CYLINDER SHROUD REMOVAL
∆ CAUTION
• Before removal and disassembly, clean the engine.
1. Access the engine compartment.
2. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug.
3. Loosen air intake hose clamp (7) from intake pipe (5) and remove hose (6) (Figure 13-6, Page 13-9).
4. Disconnect the fuel line (9) and vent tube (10) from the carburetor (4) (Figure 13-7, Page 13-9).
