Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your Sawtooth

Ensure your Polaris Sawtooth is on a stable surface and the engine is cool to the touch. Disconnect the battery to prevent any accidental starts.

2. Locate the Spark Plug

The spark plug is located on the engine's top side. Remove any covers or components that obstruct access to the spark plug.

3. Remove the Old Spark Plug

Use the spark plug socket and ratchet wrench to carefully unscrew the old spark plug. Turn counterclockwise until it is free. Inspect the old plug for any signs of damage or wear.

4. Check and Set the Gap on the New Spark Plug

Using a gap tool, ensure the new spark plug is set to the manufacturer's recommended gap. This is crucial for proper engine performance.

5. Install the New Spark Plug

Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plug. Carefully thread it into the engine by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once hand-tight, use the socket and wrench to snug it up – do not over-tighten.

6. Reassemble and Test

Reattach any covers or components removed earlier. Reconnect the battery and start the engine to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
