SPARK PLUG

Disconnect the spark plug cap and clean

around the spark plug.

Clean around the spark plug base with

compressed air before removing, and be

sure that no debris is allowed to enter the

combustion chamber.

Remove the spark plug using a equipped

spark plug wrench or an equivalent tool.

Inspect or replace as described in the

maintenance schedule.

Remove the carbon deposits from the spark

plug with a small wire brush or a spark plug

cleaning machine.

The spark plug should be replaced

periodically. Whenever removing the

carbon deposits, be sure to observe the

operational color of the spark plug's

porcelain tip. This color tells you whether or

not the standard spark plug is suitable for

your type of usage. A normal operating

spark plug should be light brown or tan

color. If the spark plug is very white or

glazed appearing, then it has been operating

much too hot. This spark plug should be

replaced with the colder plug.

Recommended spark plug: NGK: CR7E
