Correct Spark Plug Torque
Original Message   Feb 27, 2006 5:01 pm
I recently purchased a Honda HS520AS snowthrower at 50% off at HD and the manual says for a new spark plug to tighten after base contact 1/2 turn, for used spark plug 1/8 - 1/4 turn after base contact.  I rather have a torque specification, and for the lack of one, I went with 13 ft-lbs.  Isn't there a general torque specification for small engines?  I'm used to wrenching on cars and they always have a torque specification for everything (that's where I got the 13 ft-lbs, from my Honda I4 87 CRX/DX D15A2 engine).
