Introduction

This guide is to help you replace your old spark plug with a brand new one without having to go out and buy a brand new blower. Your spark plug is what ignites the air/fuel mixture. It’s what creates the explosion which makes your engine produce power, so if this isn’t functioning properly for you, then this is the guide for you. This guide is made specifically for a Craftsman blower, specifically the Craftsman Speed Start 27cc 2-cycle leaf blower and vac.

    • Insert the new spark plug into the hole and tighten it a bit with your fingers to find the threads.

    • Use the 5/8" socket wrench to tighten the spark plug until it is snug.

    • Be careful not to overtighten the spark plug, as you can damage it by applying too much torque.

    • If it starts up, then you're done!
