Here's why:
* Spark Plug Gaps Vary: The correct spark plug gap can vary depending on the specific engine model and the type of fuel being used.
* Manufacturer Recommendations: The best and safest way to determine the correct spark plug gap is to consult the engine's owner's manual or the Lawn-Boy service manual. These manuals provide specific recommendations for your engine model.
General Information on Spark Plug Gaps:
* Spark plug gap is critical: The gap between the spark plug electrodes determines how easily a spark jumps across. A gap that's too small can result in weak ignition, and a gap that's too large can make ignition difficult or impossible.
* Tools for adjusting the gap: You'll need a spark plug gap gauge to measure and adjust the gap.
Recommendations:
* Consult the manual: The most reliable information is found in the engine's specific documentation.
* Contact a qualified mechanic: If you are unsure, consult a small engine repair specialist for assistance.
Please note: Always disconnect the spark plug wire before working on the spark plug.
