How to Use & Maintain a Chainsaw : How to Change a Chainsaw Sparkplug

[cowpoke1000]

Husqvarna has produced a series of videos titled "How to Work With Chainsaws". These are excellent videos and will give the beginner good solid instruction. Stay away from this guy. He'll get you killed.

You must get a kick back from your local saw shop. Every twenty hours? That's every two days on the average. You sir, should have stayed at your drafting table. Your videos teach improper and unsafe practices and you will injure or kill someone one of these days.

every 12 hours? why?

[benthetreeguy]

Come on George Finn, seriously every 20 hours change the plug, that is just stupid. Simply just change the plug when it doesn't fire anymore.

@benthetreeguy I respectfully disagree. If your plug becomes so worn that it stops firing, you;re losing a large amount of horsepower and probably not burning gas very efficiently. The spark has to jump further because of a worn electrode and the compression may actually hinder the ignition process because of that.

@ryanintopeka , thanks for the comment. How often would you recommend changing the spark plugs. Every 20 hours seems

extremely excessive to me.

[ryanintopeka]

@benthetreeguy I wouldn't put hours on it...but if you pull the plug and you can see the electrode is worn...I'd change it regardless of the hours. At that point it is already not putting out the highest current it can anymore and not running as efficiently.

umm... gapping the plug?
