This maybe a really dumb question but how do I get to the spark plugs? Its been sitting for 3 months in storage and will not fire up (turns over fine). Any help with this and startup would be helpful.

thx
ajm

 

Dont you mean o2? or later? Right side fairly easy,just dont tear boots! Left side the killer,clutch exh duct right in the way,but I use a 5/8 socket with 1/2" outer hex head with a snap-on flex head socket wrench,(sears has them too. Small hands are an ASSET! If it still has Champions,replace with NGK BKR6E,Best plugs available

 

Sorry...02 is correct. what do you have to pull off to get to them?

 

Not trying to be a smart a**,but left side has very little space to get hands in! Small hands are an asset,just turn boot back and forth while pulling up.I take off just the side panels,do the right side first.

 

No a** taken. I appreciate the help. I have LARGE hands but will get my kid to help me. Any advise on start up since its been sitting so long?
thx again

 

Did you put STABIL in tank? If not may or may not have carb problems. Make sure air filter clean,battery good or replaced,if doesn't start on its on with choke and a throttling, spray a little electrical contact cleaner on air filter to try to prime up vacuum pump. don't use starting fluid if possible,very volatile !! Change oil and filter if havent done alraedy. If only starts and dies or runs on choke only,carb clean needed. Good luck.
