If engine is down on power, difficult to
start or runs poorly at idling speed, first
check the spark plug.

unfavorable running conditions (mostly
at part throttle etc.) affect the condition
of the spark plug. These factors cause
deposits to form on the insulator nose
which may result in trouble in operation.
Check electrode gap (A) and
readjust if necessary – see
"Specifications".

Use only resistor type spark plugs of
the approved range.

Too much oil in fuel mix.

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
use only spark plugs authorized by
STIHL. Always press spark plug boot (2)
snugly onto spark plug terminal (1) of
the proper size. (Note: If terminal has
detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be
attached.) A loose connection between
spark plug boot and ignition wire con-
nector in the boot may create arcing that
could ignite combustible fumes and
cause a fire.
Unfavorable running conditions,
e.g. operating at part load.
