Do you mark a line on the open side of electrode.
How do you reference or orient plugs to fuel injectors? Is there a diagram. I need to change out my plugs and want to do myself.
Thanks,

You must not have looked for the information and reference material available on this site. Go click on Look here for Important BRP Links One Stop shopping to find it.
When changing mine i marked the open side of the electrode on the outside of the plug and then tightened until i got the mark facing the injectors. You should be able to tell where the injectors are just by looking. I was told they didn't have to be perfect as long as the open side was facing the direction of the injectors.
I got plugs installed tonight. I did notice the bottom plug on starboard side was not lined up at all. Where the plug needs to be at 9 pm on the dial the plug was at 3pm. What kind of impact would that have? My dealer said anything bewteen 6 adn 12 is good. Most of mine were between 9 and 10 on the dial starboard side and 1-3 on the dial on the port side.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Assuming the injector is at 9pm, if the open part of the electrode is at 3 then that plug does not work there. the fuel needs to be able to pass through the gap, at 3 the fuel strikes the closed end of the electrode.
