Replacing Spark Plugs

(Model 07050 only)
Replace spark plugs or reset gap after every 200 operating
hours to assure proper engine performance and reduce
exhaust emission level.
Correct spark plug to use is a Champion RC 12YC or
equivalent.
Recommended air gap is .040".
Note: The spark plug usually lasts a long time; however,
the plug should be removed and checked whenever the
engine malfunctions.

fall into cylinder when spark plug is removed.
2. Pull spark plug wires off spark plugs and remove plugs
from cylinder head.
3. Check condition of side electrode, center electrode, and
center electrode insulator to assure there is no damage.
