Spark Plug
The ATV comes equipped with a specified
spark plug. See the specifications chart for
the correct spark plug. A light brown insu-
lator indicates that the plug is correct. A
white or dark insulator indicates that the
engine may need to be serviced or the car-
buretor may need to be adjusted. Consult
an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer if the
plug insulator is not a light brown color.
To help prevent cold weather fouling,
make sure to thoroughly warm up the
engine before operating.
To maintain a hot, strong spark, keep the
plug free of carbon.
Before removing the spark plug, be sure to
clean the area around the spark plug. If
you do not, dirt could enter engine when
removing or installing the spark plug.
Adjust the gap to 0.8-0.9 mm (0.032-
0.036 in.) for proper ignition. Use a
feeler gauge to check the gap.
ATV-0052B
When installing the spark plug, be sure to
tighten it securely. A new spark plug
should be tightened 1/2 turn once the
washer contacts the cylinder head. A used
spark plug should be tightened 1/8-1/4 turn
once the washer contacts the cylinder head.

! WARNING
Never make the final connection to a
battery as a spark could ignite
hydrogen gases causing an explo-
sion of the battery resulting in acid
burns or blindness.
