not contact plug accidentally.
2. Remove (4) screws securing bottom cover to

Replacing Spark Plug
Use a Champion RJ–19LM spark plug or equivalent.
Set air gap at 0.030” (0.76 mm). Check spark plug
yearly or every 100 operating hours. If electrodes in
center of plug are dark or have deteriorated, install a
new plug.
1. Clean area around spark plug so foreign matter
cannot fall into cylinder when plug is removed.
2. Pull wire off spark plug (Fig. 29) and remove
plug from cylinder head.
IMPORTANT: A cracked, fouled or dirty
spark plug must be replaced. Do not sand
blast, scrape or clean electrodes because grit
may eventually r
elease fr om the plug and fall
into the cylinder. The result will likely be
engine damage.
3. Set air gap between electrodes of new spark plug
at 0.030” (0.76 mm) (Fig. 30). Next, install
spark plug in cylinder head. Tighten plug to 15
ft–lb (20.4 Nm).
4. Push the wire onto the spark plug (Fig. 29).
