CAUTION!
Incorrect spark plug installation can
result in serious engine damage!
Disconnect the spark plug lead, and
then use the spark plug wrench to
unscrew the spark plug (counter- clock-
wise to remove.) See Figure 9
If the spark plug is fouled or is soaked
with fuel, clean or replace the plug as
necessary. For spark plug specificia-
tions and gapping procedure, see the
Maintenance section.
While the spark plug is removed, crank
the engine several times to clear excess
fuel from the combustion chamber.

with the spark plug wrench. If a torque
wrench is available, torque the spark plug
to 48-65 inch-lbs. (70-90 kg/cm).
