NOTICE
Non-resistor types of spark plugs will inter-
fere with the function of the electronic igni-
tion, causing misfiring, or causing problems
with other electronic boat equipment and
accessories.
Use ONLY resistor type spark plugs in your
outboard motor.
A normally operating spark plug is very light-
brown in color. If the standard plug is not suit-
able for your operating, consult your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer.

Use of improper spark plugs or improperly
tightening spark plugs can cause severe
engine damage.
• Do not experiment with other spark plug
brands unless you can determine that they
are directly equivalent to the specified
brand, or you may experience engine dam-
age which will not be covered under war-
ranty. Note that aftermarket cross-reference
charts may not be accurate.
• To install a spark plug; seat it as far as pos-
sible by hand, then use a wrench to tighten
it to either the recommended torque setting
or the specified rotation angle.
