Sparkplug Change for 2 Staged Honda Snowblower
Original Message   Feb 5, 2011 2:23 pm
Just changed the sparkplug on my HS928 today and it was not as easy as my Honda lawnmower.  The angle is somewhat skewed so regular craftsman sparkplug socket is not the best.  I had to use the Honda socket (thinner) that came with the blower to loosen and tighten the sparkplug.  When you are installing the new sparkplug - try to tread it with your hand first before using the socket so you do not strip it.  Just be careful so $2 job does not turn into a $400 mess. Did you guys have similar experiences on your Honda blowers?

I wanted to change the spark plug on Honda HS621 but the wrench I got for HS35 was too short although it is the same size so I could not put the handle.Now do I have to buy that expensive wrench for this one too?It is 13-14 dollars.

Just a thought, wouldn't a 5/8" thin walled deep socket with an 6" extension work for both of your machines?

I even got a 5/8" 12 pt. spark plug socket. It is too small.
