Ensure that the air gap between the center and side

the spark plug(s) and a gapping tool/feeler gauge to
check and adjust the air gap. Install a new spark
plug(s) if necessary.
Type: Champion RN9YC or equivalent

2. Clean around the spark plugs to prevent dirt
from entering the engine and potentially causing
damage.
3. Remove the spark plug.
Checking the Spark Plug
Important:
Do not clean the spark plug(s).
Always replace the spark plug(s) when it has a
black coating, worn electrodes, an oily film, or
cracks.
If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the
engine is operating properly. A black coating on the
insulator usually means the air cleaner is dirty.
Set the gap to 0.75 mm (0.03 inch).
