Maintenance
Every 500 hours—Replace
the spark plug (Kohler
engine).
Ensure that the air gap between the center and side
electrodes is correct before installing the spark plug.
Use a spark plug wrench for removing and installing
the spark plug and a gapping tool or feeler gauge to
check and adjust the air gap. Install a new spark plug
if necessary.
The spark plug is RFI compliant. Equivalent alternate
brand plugs can also be used.
Type:
Champion XC12YC or equivalent
Air Gap:
0.030 inch (.76 mm)

falling into the engine and potentially causing

Checking the Spark Plug–Kohler
Engine
1. Inspect the spark plug
Note:
If you see light brown or gray on the
insulator, the engine is operating properly. A
black coating on the insulator usually means the
air cleaner is dirty.
Important:
Do Not clean the spark plug.
Always replace the spark plug when it has a
black coating, worn electrodes, an oily film,
or cracks.
