NOTICE
Spark plugs have different thread lengths and
heat ranges. When changing a spark plug, use only the
specified replacement or engine damage could occur.
Note:
In some areas, local law requires using a resistor
spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this engine was
originally equipped with a resistor spark plug, use the same
type for replacement.
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Remove and inspect spark plug for wear and damage.
Replace spark plug if electrodes are burned away or if
the porcelain is cracked.
3. Do not sand-blast or bead-blast the spark plug. Clean
by scraping or wire brushing and then washing in a
commercial solvent.

value listed in
Section 13 - Engine Specifications.
