Servicing the Spark Plug
Service Interval: Yearly—Service the spark plug and replace
it if necessary.
Use a Toro spark plug (Part No. 119-1961).
1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug (Figure 11).
3. Clean around the spark plug.
4. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
Important: Replace a cracked, fouled, or dirty
spark plug. Do not clean the electrodes because
grit entering the cylinder can damage the engine.
5. Set the gap on the plug to 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) (Figure
29).
1. Center electrode insulator
2. Side electrode
6. Install the spark plug and torque it to 20–22 ft-lb
(27–30 N-m).
7. Connect the wire to the spark plug.
