I'd have to go out to the garage and it's -3* out there, so am guessing 14mm.. You should have one in your tool roll. One side fits your front axel and the other end fits the spark plug

i'm not sure but i think i read that its not a special size, it just needs to be thin to reach inside where the spark plugs sit

Now I have the issue of plug gap. I have the kawa repair manuel and it doesn't specify a gap.
Do I just pop the new plugs in the way they are out of the box?? doesn't seem correct. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
