SPARK PLUG INSPECTION
WARNING:
When pull the
recoil starter and check the
spark plug for spark strength:
To prevent FIRE HAZARDS be sure
fuel is not present in the spark plug
area.
To prevent FIRE HAZARDS be sure to
place the spark plug as far way as
possible from the spark plug hole
and carburetor area.
To prevent ELECTRIC SHOCK do not
hold spark plug lead with hand while
testing.
You should periodically remove and
inspect the spark plug.
The spark plug is important for proper
engine operation, which should be
checked periodically.
A good spark plug should be intact, free
of deposits, and properly gapped. Refer
to Recommended Maintenance Schedule
above. To inspect the spark plug:
1.
Loosen bolts and the access panel.
2.
Remove spark plug boot. Be careful
not to tear insulation or wire.
3.
Unscrew the spark plug
counterclockwise from the engine by
the spark plug wrench provided. There
is limited space for the wrench to turn.
Use both rows of holes in the spark plug
wrench to gain leverage to loosen the
plug.
4. Visually inspect the spark plug for
cracks or excessive electrode wear.
Replace as necessary.Remove the
carbon. The porcelain insulator around
the center standard electrode of spark
plug should be a medium-to-light tan
color.
5. Measure the plug gap with a wire
thickness gauge. The gap should be
0.6-0.7 mm (0.024-0.028 in).
