Spark plug (23) service [F15]
To ensure proper engine (4) operation, the spark plug
(23) must be properly gapped and free of deposits.
If the engine (4) has been running, the muffler will be
very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.

Remove the spark plug cap (24).
2.
Clean any dirt from around the spark plug (23)
base.
3.
Use the spanner supplied in the tool kit to remove
the spark plug (23).
4.
Visually inspect the spark plug (23). Discard it if the
insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug
(23) 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.
The gap should be: 0.70-0.80 mm (0.028-0.031 inch).
6.
Check that the spark plug washer is in good
condition, and thread the spark plug (23) in by hand to
prevent cross-threading.
7.
After the spark plug (23) is seated, tighten with a
spark plug spanner to compress the washer. If installing
a new spark plug (23), tighten 1/2 turn after the spark
plug seats to compress the washer. If reinstalling a used
spark plug (23), tighten 1/8-1/4 turn after the spark plug
seats to compress the washer.
NOTICE: the spark plug (23) must be securely
tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug
(23) can become very hot and could damage the
engine (4). Never use spark plugs (23) which have
an improper heat range. Use only the recommended
spark plugs (23) or equivalent.
