3.3 Changing the air cleaner
1) In order to access the spark plugs you will
need to remove the rear engine cover. This
can be accomplished b
y removing the two
carriage bolts using a 7/16” ratcheting
wrench in the back as well as the two
connecting the rear engine cover to the
plastic shrouds. Then loosen the two carriage
bolts on the side and the rear engine cover
will swing down for easy access to the spark
plugs.
2) Remove the wire on the spark plug and use a
5/8” socket to remove the spark plug.
3) Check the gap on the spark plug to verify that
it is 0.03 in using a feeler gauge.
4) If the spark plug is worn, overheated, wet or
carbon fouled replace the spark plug.
5) Install the plug into Cylinder head and torque
to 20 ft*lbs. Be careful not to overtighten the
spark plug.
