Changing spark plugs

[cwingnut]

Hey gang,

Wanted to change out the spark plugs today, wow! With this DFI is this something that is easy to do? I looked in the manual section and mine is not available. It looks like the fuel rail assembly would have to be removed? Has anyone done this on the 200 Optimax? Thanks.

NVM, i found them behind it. Still going to be tough to get out.

I like to use a dab of anti-seize compound (not high copper type) on the plug threads if they look exceptionally dry otherwise if they're nice and oily there shouldn't be a problem with them galling.

From the looks of these I would guess these could be original. Look at the black paint. I have the number 1 to still get out but it is going to be tricky. All of these were a pain. Probably why they have not been replaced.

Those look like they're running just right to me, especially for being 12 seasons old they should've fouled by now and look like they might be.
