Spark Plug Replacement

IMPORTANT
Prior to replacing the spark plug, complete the inspection steps outlined on Spark Plug Inspection.

  1. Open the maintenance cover.

  2. Remove the spark plug cap.

  3. Clean any dirt from around the base of the spark plug.

  4. Using the provided park plug wrench, remove the spark plug.

  5. Using a wire-type feeler gauge, measure the spark plug electrode gap. If necessary, correct the gap by carefully bending the side electrode.

    MEASUREMENT

    Spark Plug Gap

    0.024- 0.028 in (0.6-0.7 mm)

  6. Ensure the spark plug sealing washer is in good condition and thread the spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.

  7. After a new spark plug has been seated by hand, it should be tightened 1/2 turn with a wrench to compress the sealing washer. If a used plug is being reinstalled, it should only require 1/8 to 1/4 turn after being seated.

  8. Re-install the spark plug cap and close the maintenance cover.

    NOTICE

    A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine. Over tightening the spark plug can damage the plug threads.

    Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range.
