How to change the spark plug in your STIHL FS 461 C-EM L
Watch the guide or follow the steps.
- 1Stop the engine and let it cool. On a chainsaw, engage the chain brake.
- 2Take off the shroud or spark plug cover, then pull the boot off the plug.
- 3Clean any dirt from around the plug so nothing falls into the engine, then unscrew it with the combination spanner.
