SPARKPLUG
Keeping the sparkplug in good condition helps
to reduce fuel consumption and keep the en-
gine running optimally.
To check it, just pull off the plug cap and un-
screw the sparkplug.
Check the gap between the electrodes with a
feeler gauge: it should be 0.6-0.7 mm. If it is
not within this range, you can adjust it by ben-
ding the negative electrode. Take care not to
damage the central electrode.
Check also that there are no cracks in the in-
sulation or corroded electrodes. If you find
either of these faults, replace the sparkplug
immediately.
Check the sparkplug at the intervals given
in the table on page ......
The best way to fit the sparkplug is to screw
it in by hand until it will go no further, then
lock it with a spanner.
Note
We recommend that you always use NGK CR7EB
sparkplugs.
