Cleaning the air filter:

hazard or produce harmful evaporative emis-

sions.

3. Wash the filter in soap and water.

4. Allow filter to dry.

5. Apply a few drops of oil to the filter;

squeeze filter to distribute oil.

6. Replace parts.

REPLACE SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plug each year to ensure the

engine starts easier and runs better. Set

spark plug gap at 0.025 inch (0.6 mm). Igni-

tion timing is fixed, nonadjustable.

NOTE:

This spark ignition system complies

with the Canadian standard ICES--002.

(19 mm) socket wrench.

4. Reinstall the spark plug boot.

of fuel, then remove fuel cap/retainer assem-

bly from tank. Pull filter from tank and remove

it from the fuel line. Install new fuel filter on fuel

line; reinstall parts.
