New spark plugs can be had for $2.94 at Wal-Mart or better quality NPG or Champions at a Marina or if you're like me, just clean off last years' plug w/ an electric wire brush and motor one more season.

As said above that's all there is to it. If the OB is new and the plugs are as well, you might get by with doing nothing else. Otherwise a plug cleaning is desirable (need not be on day 1). If FLL is correct then I wouldn't bother to clean, just replace the plugs. Only thing to be careful about is not to over-torque the plugs when you tighten them down.
