7. Make sure the plug washer is in good
condition.
8. With the plug washer attached, thread the
spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-
threading.
9. Tighten the spark plug:
• If the old plug is good:
1/8 turn after it seats.
• If installing a new plug, tighten it twice
to prevent loosening:
a) First, tighten the plug:
1/2 turn after it seats.
b) Then loosen the plug.
c) Next, tighten the plug again:
1/8 turn after it seats.
An improperly tightened spark plug can
damage the engine. If a plug is too loose, a
piston may be damaged. If a plug is too tight,
the threads may be damaged.
10. Reinstall the spark plug cap. Take care to
avoid pinching any cables or wires.
