SPARK PLUG

Recommended Spark Plugs:
The recommended spark plugs have the correct heat range for
normal engine operating temperatures.
Incorrect spark plugs can cause engine damage.
For good performance, the spark plugs must be properly gapped
and free of deposits.
1. Disconnect the spark plug caps, and remove any dirt from
around the spark plug area.
2. Remove the spark plugs with a 13/16-inch spark plug wrench.

3. Inspect the spark plugs. Replace
them if damaged, badly fouled,
if the sealing washer is in poor
condition, or if the electrode is
worn.
4. Measure the spark plug
electrode gaps with a wire-type
feeler gauge. Correct the gap, if
necessary, by carefully bending
the side electrode.
The gap should be:
0.7 0.8 mm (0.028 0.031 in) − −
5. Install the spark plugs carefully,
by hand, to avoid cross-
threading.
6. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a 13/16-inch spark
plug wrench to compress the sealing washer.
When installing a new spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark
plug seats to compress the washer.
When reinstalling the original spark plug, tighten 1/8 1/4 turn
after the spark plug seats to compress the washer.
A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the engine.
Overtightening the spark plug can damage the threads in the
cylinder head.
7. Attach the spark plug caps to the spark plugs.

SPARK ARRESTER (applicable types)
Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. The
spark arrester is optional part. In some areas, it is illegal to operate
an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and
regulations. A spark arrester is available from authorized Honda
servicing dealers.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be hot. Allow it to
cool before servicing the spark arrester.
Cleaning & Inspection
1. Remove the 6 mm flange bolts from the muffler protector, and
remove the muffler protector.
2. Remove the special screws from the spark arrester and remove
the spark arrester from the muffler.
