Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop and unplug it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be very careful when working near blades, augers, or any other moving parts. Keep your hands, fingers, and clothing clear of these areas at all times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time for any hot parts to cool down before working on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Empty the gas tank before beginning any work.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals.

Keep children and pets away from the work area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear safety glasses when working with chemicals, dust or cleaning large debris to prevent injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Read more: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/the-ultimate-guide-to-leaf-blowing\/\"><b>The Ultimate Guide to Leaf-Blowing<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to check &amp; replace the spark plug<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em><b>NOTE<\/b><b>:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While we strive to offer helpful advice for DIY appliance repairs, the information in this article may differ from your specific appliance model. Variations in models and configurations can lead to differences in troubleshooting steps, error codes and part replacements. For the most accurate guidance, we strongly recommend consulting the technical sheet for your specific appliance model before beginning any testing or repairs.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Take out the old spark plug<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure the unit is turned off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the spark plug, which is usually in the front of the engine. If there\u2019s a cover or cap over it, gently remove it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attach the spark plug socket to the socket wrench, place it over the spark plug, and turn counterclockwise to loosen it. Once it\u2019s loose, you can usually unscrew it the rest of the way by hand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at the removed plug. If it\u2019s covered in soot or is obviously worn out, you\u2019ll need to replace it. If there\u2019s any severe or unusual damage, it\u2019s a good idea to inspect other parts of your blower.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Set the gap on the spark plug<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you try to install the new spark plug, it\u2019s important to make sure it has the right gap size. The gap is the small space between the metal tip and the electrode at the end of the plug. Most manuals include the recommended gap size for your model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slide the gap gauge into the space on the spark plug. If it\u2019s too small or too large, carefully adjust it by gently bending the metal tip until it matches the correct size.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 3: Install the new spark plug<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screw in the spark plug by hand as far as it will go. This helps avoid cross-threading, which can damage the threads on the plug or the engine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the socket wrench to snug it up, but don\u2019t overtighten it. Too much force can crack the plug or make it hard to remove later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reconnect any covers or cables that you removed earlier and make sure they\u2019re securely reattached.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start up your leaf blower to see how it\u2019s running. Listen for smooth, steady sound without misfires or sputtering.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Read more: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-fix-a-leaf-blower-that-starts-and-then-stalls\/\"><b>How to fix a leaf blower that starts and then stalls<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>More for you<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks for following along!
