Servicing the Spark Plug
Service Interval: Every 200 hours—Check, clean and gap
the spark plug.
Make sure that the air gap between the center and side
electrodes is correct before installing the spark plug. Use a
spark plug wrench to remove and install the spark plug(s) and
use a gapping tool/feeler gauge to check and adjust the air
gap. Install a new spark plug(s) if necessary.
