pletely into suitable container.

filter.-Install FILTER and tighten by hand only. DO NOT

SPARK PLUGS
Reset the spark plug gap or replace the spark plugs as neces-
sary.
1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs to keep dirt
and debris out of the engine. Clean by scraping or washing
using a wire brush and commercial solvent. Do not blast the
spark plugs to clean.
2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition. Replace
the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is questionable. See the
“Service Schedule” section for recommended inspection.
3. Check the spark plug gap using a feeler gauge. Adjust the gap
to 1.3-1.4 mm (0.052-0.056 inch) by carefully bending the
ground electrode (Figure 10.5).
