Installation
To install a spark plug, turn it in as
far as possible with your fingers,
then tighten it with a wrench.
Carefully turn the spark plug by
hand into the threads until it is fin-
ger tight. If the spark plug is new,
tighten it with a wrench about 1/2
turn past finger tight. If you are
reusing the old spark plug, tighten
it with a wrench about 1/8 turn
past finger tight.
Reinstall the air cleaner box and
fuel tank in the reverse order of
removal.
CAUTION
A crossthreaded or overtight-
ened spark plug will damage
the aluminum threads of the
cylinder head.
Follow the procedure below to
tighten the spark plug properly.
CAUTION
Improper installation of igni-
tion coils can damage the igni-
tion coils.
Install the ignition coils with
your hand. Never hit the igni-
tion coils with a tool.
