See Replacing the Air Filter in the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
Running the machine with a dirty air filter will cause the engine to run on partial choke and show the same symptoms as a closed choke described above. It can also be difficult to start.
Spark Plug
The engine spark plug is hidden under the ignition cable boot. When performing service, it is important that the engine cannot start accidentally. For this reason, always remove the ignition cable boot from the spark plug. To avoid pulling the cable, the cable boot is equipped with a special handle; see the illustration. See Technical Data for replacement specifications.
