Re: Spark Plug Torque Setting for 140 Johnson Outboard
On my bike and car engines I always put a little 'coppaslip' on the threads and tighten them with a short lever! No problems with electrolytic corrosion and never stripped one.
When the plugs are brand new, generally the gasket compresses to allow 1/4 turn from finger tight, thereafter about 1/8 as previously mentioned. If your plugs have the screw-on nipple, make sure they are plier tight.
