Servicing the Spark Plug

Use an NGK BPR6ES spark plug or equivalent.
1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Clean around the spark plug.
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
Replace a cracked, fouled, or dirty spark plug. Do not sand blast, scrape, or clean the
electrodes because engine damage could result from grit entering the cylinder.
4. Set the gap on the plug
(0.028 to 0.031 inch).
5. Carefully install the spark plug by hand (to
avoid cross threading) until it is hand tight.
6. Tighten the spark plug an additional 1/2 turn if
it is new; otherwise, tighten it an additional 1/8
to 1/4 turn.
A loose spark plug can become very hot and can damage the engine; overtightening
a spark plug may damage the threads in the cylinder head.
7. Connect the wire to the spark plug.
