REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
Use Champion RC14YC, NGK BKR4E or equivalent spark plugs.
The correct air gap is 0.76 mm (0.030 in.). Replace the plugs
every 100 hours of operation or once each year, whichever
comes first. This will help your engine to start easier and run
better.
1. Stop the engine and pull the spark plug wire off of the
spark plug.
2. Clean around the spark plug and remove it from the
cylinder head.
3. Set the spark plug gap (Figure 9) to 0.76mm (0.030 in.).
Install a correctly gapped spark plug into the cylinder head.
