SPARK PLUG SERvICE
Recommend spark plugs: F5T or
F&TC or F7TJC or other equivalents.
To ensure proper engine operation,
the spark plug must be properly
gapped and free of deposits.
If the engine has been running, the
muffler will be very hot. Be careful
not to touch the muffler.
1° Remove the spark plug cap.
2° Clean any dirt from around the
spark plug base.
3° Use the wrench supplied in the
tool kit to remove the spark plug.
4° Visually inspect the spark plug.
Discard it if the insulator is cracked or
chipped. Clean the spark plug with a
wire brush if it is to be reused.
5° Measure the plug gap with a feeler
gauge. Correct as necessary by
carefully bending the side electrode.
36
The gap should be: 0.70 -0.80 mm
(0.028-0.031 in)
6° Check that the spark plug washer
is in good condition, and thread the
spark plug in by hand to prevent
cross-threading.
7° After the spark plug is seated,
tighten with a spark plug wrench to
compress the washer. If installing a
new spark plug, tighten ½ turn after
the spark plug seats to compress the
washer. If reinstalling a used spark
plug, tighten 1/8 – ¼ turn after the
spark plug seats to compress the
washer.
NOTICE:
The spark plug must be securely
tightened. An improperly tightened
spark plug can become very hot
and could damage the engine.
Never use spark plugs which have
a improper heat range. Use only
the recommended spark plugs or
equivalent.
