Spark Plug
This ATV comes equipped with a speci-
fied spark plug. See the specifications
chart for the correct spark plug. To help
prevent cold weather fouling, make sure
to thoroughly warm up the engine before
operating.
To maintain a hot, strong spark, keep the
plug free of carbon.
Before removing the spark plug, be sure
to clean the area around the spark plug. If
you do not, dirt could enter engine when
removing or installing the spark plug.
