Replacing the Spark Plug
Refer to Section 5.1 on page 31 for scheduled spark plug replacement. The spark plug must
be in good condition for proper engine starting and performance. A spark plug that fouls
frequently or has heavy soot deposits indicates that the engine needs service. Refer to Chapter
6 on page 47.
1. Remove the front access cover.
2. Unscrew the spark plug and remove.
3. Thread the spark plug in by hand until it seats. Tighten to 17 Nm (13 ft-lbs).
NOTICE
Always thread the spark plug in by hand until it seats to prevent crossthreading.
NOTICE
If a torque wrench is not available, turn the spark plug an additional 1/4 turn if
being reused, or 3/8 to 1/2 turn for a new spark plug.
4. Replace the front access cover.
