Check or Replace Spark Plugs
The spark plugs must be removed from the engine to inspect
them. Spark plugs with bright white deposits, sooty black
deposits, or with damaged insulators or electrodes can indicate
engine problems. If these conditions exist, or if the condition of
one plug is markedly different from the other, see the Victory
Service Manual or an authorized Victory dealer for assistance.
1. Make sure the engine is at room temperature, and
remove the operator’s seat.
2. Remove the fuel tank.
3. Disconnect the spark plug wire by pulling upward on
the spark plug boot.
4. To prevent any debris from entering the engine through the spark plug hole, use pressurized air to
blow clean the area around each spark plug before removing it.
Wear face protection when using pressurized air.
