Spark Plug Service

Recommended Spark Plug:

 

NGK - BPR5ES

An incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage.

For good performance, the spark plug must be properly gapped and 
free of deposits.

1. Disconnect the spark plug 

cap and remove any dirt 
from around the spark plug 
area.

2. Remove the spark plug 

with a 13/16 in (21 mm) 
spark plug wrench. 

3. Inspect the spark plug. 

Replace it if the electrodes 
are worn, or if the insulator 
is cracked or chipped.

4. Measure the spark plug 

electrode gap with a 
suitable gauge. The gap 
should be 0.028 ~ 0.031 in 
(0.7 ~ 0.8 mm). Correct the 
gap, if necessary, by 
carefully bending the side 
electrode.

5. Install the spark plug 

carefully, by hand, to avoid 
cross-threading.

6. After the spark plug seats, tighten with a 21 mm (13/16 in) spark 

plug wrench to compress the washer.
If reinstalling the old spark plug, tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turn after the 
spark plug seats.
If installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug 
seats to compress the sealing washer.

NOTICE

A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine. 
Overtightening the spark plug can damage the threads in the 
cylinder head.

7. Install the spark plug cap on the spark plug.

Spark Arrester Service (optional equipment) 

Your lawn mower engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. 
In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a spark 
arrester. Check local laws and regulations. An optional USDA 
approved spark arrester is available from an authorized Honda 
servicing dealer. See page 19 for part numbers.

The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it 
functioning as designed.

1. Allow the engine to cool and disconnect the spark plug cap to 

prevent accidental starting.

2. Remove the three flange bolts and the heat shield. Remove the set 

screw and the spark arrester from the muffler.

3. Check for carbon deposits on the spark arrester and the exhaust 

port. Use a brush to remove any carbon deposits from the screen. 
Replace the screen if it is torn or damaged.

4. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten all hardware 

securely. 

5. Reconnect the spark plug cap.

Blade Control Lever

Start the engine outdoors and move the throttle to FAST (PDA, SDA). 
Release the blade control lever; the engine should stop quickly. If it 
does not, take your mower to an authorized Honda servicing dealer 
for repair.
