Spark
plug
(Fig.
33)
The spark plug condition is in
fl
uenced by:
○
An incorrect carburetor setting.
○
Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)
○
A dirty air
fi
lter.
○
Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which
may result in malfunction and starting di
ffi
culties. If the engine is low
on power, di
ffi
cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check
the spark plug
fi
rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the
electrode gap. Readjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.024” (0.6
mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation
hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

NOTE
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug
to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally
equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug
for replacement.
