Check the Spark Plugs
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic
amputation, or laceration.
When testing for spark:
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.
NOTICE
Spark plugs have different heat ranges. It is important that
the correct spark plug is used, otherwise, engine damage
can occur. Replace the spark plug with the same type or
equivalent one.
Clean Spark Plug
Clean with wire brush and sturdy knife. Do NOT use
abrasives.
Check Spark Plug Gap
Use a spark plug feeler gauge ( A , Figure 12) to check the
gap between the two electrodes. When the gap is correct, the
gauge will drag slightly as you pull it through the gap.
If necessary, use the spark plug gauge to adjust the gap by
gently bending the curved electrode without touching the
center electrode or the porcelain.
Install Spark Plug
Tighten with your fingers, then tighten with a wrench as
shown in Figure 13.
• 180 in-lbs (20 Nm), OR
• 1/2 turn when you install the original spark plug. 1/4 turn
