When
removing
or
installing
a
spark
plug
,
be careful
not
to
damage
the
insulator. A

damaged
insulator
could
allow
external
sparks
,
which
could
lead
to
explosion
or
fire.
The spark plug is an important engine com-
ponent and is easy to inspec
t.
The condition
01
the spark plug can indicate something
about the condition
01
the engine. For exam-
ple
,
il
the center electrode porcelain is very
white
, this could indicate
an
intake air leak
or
carburetion problem in that cylinde
r.
Do not
attempt to diagnose any problems yoursell
Instead
, take the outboard motor to a
dealer. You should periodically re
move and inspect the spark plug because
heat and deposits will cause the spark plug
to slowly break down and erode.
1I
electrode
erosion becomes excessive
,
or
if carbon and
other deposits are excessive
, you should re-
place the spark plug with another

Before litting the spark plug
, measure the
electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge;
adjust the gap
to

Spark plug torque:
18.0 Nm (13.3 ft-Ib) (1.84 kgf-m)
NOTE:
1I
a torque-wrench
is
not available when
you
are filting a spark plug, a good estimate
01
the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 a turn past lin-

Have the spark plug adjusted to the
correct torque as soon as possible with a

Leaking fuel can
result
in
fire
or
explo-
sion.
• Check
for
fuel leakage regularly.
•
If
any
fuel leakage
is
found
,
the
fuel
system
must
be
repaired
by
a qualified
mechanic.
Improper
repairs can make
the
outboard
unsafe

operate.
Check the fuel lines for leaks

lunction.
