SPARK PLUG (FIG. 10-11)
Recommended spark plug: CM5H (NGK), CMR5H (NGK)
The recommended spark plug has the correct heat range for normal
engine operating temperatures.
AN INCORRECT SPARK PLUG CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.
For good performance, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free
of deposits.
1. Remove the top cover.
CAUTION: Do not operate the engine
when the top cover is removed. Do not
pull the recoil starter handle when the top
cover is removed. You may be injured
from the rotating parts or burned by the
muffler.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap and
remove any dirt from around the
spark plug area
3. Remove the spark plug with a 5/8-
inch spark plug wrench.
4. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it, if damaged or badly fouled, if the sealing washer is in poor
condition, or if the electrode is worn.
5. Measure the spark plug electrode gap with a wire type feeler gauge. Correct the gap, if necessary, by
carefully bending the side electrode. The gap should be: 0,60 – 0,70 mm.
6. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
7. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a 5/8-inch spark plug wrench to compress the sealing
washer.
8. When installing a new spark plug, tighten ½ turn after the spark plug seats to compress the washer.
9. When reinstalling the original spark plug, tighten 1/8–1/4 turn after the spark plug seats to compress
the washer.
