Title: Changing the spark plug
Post by: ScooterWolf on November 24, 2012, 07:38:05 PM
Anyone know how to get to the spark plug on the Yager? Not sure which panel to remove.

It's a hassle even with the panels removed. I think you need to remove the seat and it's box then
the panel at the front of the seat will come out and it's right there on the left side.

Removed the seat, box, and accessed the spark plug. After it was removed, tried to find a couple of places for a new one -- no luck on a sunday. Wife suggested that I clean it and try it again. Used a wire brush. Replaced -- almost worked. Removed, cleaned more, replaced -- bingo! Turned over on the first try.

Regardless going to get a replacement plug incase it goes bad again.

I threw in a Iridium one so shouldn't have to worry about it for a long time!

Looks like I'm going to have to do the same. Scooter wouldn't start this morning.

I asked my wife to get up, stoke the wood stove and put on a pot of coffee while I slept a few more minutes . . . . she wasn't too happy 'to start' either.

(just kidding - really kidding !)

There's no need to remove any panels to remove the spark plug, if you go in from the bottom of the scooter on the left hand side, and you have just the right size ratchet wrench, just the right length extension, and you're a bit of a contortionist.

I think (although I'm not in the garage and I haven't measured them) that the wrench is 6" long, the extension is 4" long, and I'm using a standard spark plug socket.

Fortunately, the wrench kit I bought from Costco had exactly what I needed.
