Spark plug removal for fogger

You then kick the motor over a couple of times with the starter to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Randy, no offense but if your level of mechanical experience is that you have never removed a spark plug before, you may want to find someone to show you how to do this. It's not tough, but there are some things you can screw up - best way to avoid that is to have a buddy walk you through it. Note that you'll also want to change the engine and lower unit oil - get the same friend to help with those too! Tim

If there's somebody out there who has removed spark plugs on a Bigfoot then I'd like to hear how it's done. I have all the tools and skills I just don't want to start taking parts off the engine if I don't need to.

This is what I will do this year, until I can learn how to remove the spark plugs of the 2007 Mercury Bigfoot 60hp . You Tube videos that I have referenced have not yet provided the information I need.
