î With the plug washer attached, thread the
spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-
threading.
î Tighten a new spark plug 1/2 turn with a
wrench plug to compress the washer. If you
are reusing a plug, it should only take 1/8-
1/4 turn after the plug seats.
î Reinstall the noise suppressor cap.
The spark plug must be securely tightened.
An improperly tightened plug can become
very hot and possibly damage the engine.
