Maintenance
Use only original equipment replacement parts. Other parts may not perform as well, may damage the unit, and may result in injury. In addition, use of other parts
may void your warranty.We recommend that you see any Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer for all maintenance and service of the engine and engine parts.
NOTICE: All the components used to build this engine must remain in place for proper operation.
How To Replace The Spark Plug - Figure 5
Check the gap (A, Figure 5) with a wire gauge (B). If necessary, reset the gap. Install and tighten the spark plug to the recommended torque. For gap setting or torque, see the Specifications section.
Note: In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this engine was originally equipped with a resistor spark plug, use the same type for replacement.
