SPARK PLUGS
To clean the fuel line filter:
WARNING
1)
If portable fuel tank is used, disconnect the fuel
hose from the outboard before you loosen the
filter.
The ignition system presents a serious
shock hazard. The primary circuit operates
in excess of 250 volts; the secondary circuit
operates in excess of 25,000 volts. Use cau-
tion to avoid injury from shock or injury
resulting from your reaction to shock. Do
not handle primary or secondary ignition
components while the engine is cranking or
running.

they are badly fouled.

plug leads. Unscrew spark plug from cylinder head.
To install spark plugs, wipe spark plug seats clean
with a clean rag. Install spark plugs finger tight, then

IMPORTANT: Avoid engine damage by installing
spark plugs into COOL cylinder head and not over-
tightening.
Before installing the spark plug lead, apply a light
coat of Triple-Guard grease to the ribbed portion of
the spark plug. This will help prevent corrosion be-
tween the spring terminal and the spark plug.
2)
Loosen fuel line filter nut and remove the filter
element. Do not lose the gasket or O-ring.
Wash the filter with clean solvent; blow dry.
Replace the O-ring and gasket if cut or dam-
aged.
Reinstall fuel line filter, making sure fuel inlet
nipple aligns with hose. Tighten nut securely;
clean up any spilled fuel.
