"Hello this is Acton on behalf of Expert Village.com and today we are going to talk about how to remove and change out your dirty spark plug. Now the few things that you are going to need is a ratchet, a brand new clean correct spark plug for your model and then some different sized sockets to help remove your spark plug. So I am going to take this and remove the spark plug boot usually they twist off, some place out of my way and size it out and see which size works. I think this size will work for me. There we go. Remove your spark plug, inspect your dirty spark plug, check for carbon deposits, check to see if it is flooding and if it is wet check for bunt oil on it. If your spark plug is dirty and you just need to change it, just put in your new spark plug. This spark plug is already pre-gapped for this model of lawnmower. So if you have any questions about what your spark plug gap should be, simply look in your owner’s manual or go to your local small engine repair shop and they will help you out. So re-thread it in at the correct angle, finger tight, and tighten it just a little bit more with your ratchet and put back on your spark plug boot, make sure it is on tight and you are set to go. "

on 3/11/2009 EXACTLY what I was looking for! Being a single mom for 25 years I've had to do everything around the house and yard myself, but don't have the education about these things that most boys do. Reading manuals is one thing, but being able to actually SEE someone doing the job is what's needed. THIS SITE IS AWESOME, and I intend to consult you all the time from now on. THANK YOU!

on 8/2/2008 Since my husbands death, I have realized how much I depended on him for so many things. With a limited income, it is even more important for me to learn how to do so many things I took for granted. Household maintenance is high on the list now. Thank you for this video over something I was fretting over but knew it just needed a little elbow grease! I consider myself a hard-core 'do-it-yourselfer' and overall, I appreciate this wonderful website!
