Checking the spark plug
A dirty spark plug with dirty electrodes or excessive
gap between electrodes will not be able to generate
full sparks.
(Cleaning)
•
The best result can be achieved if you clean the
spark plug with a spark plug cleaner.
•
If you do not have such a cleaner, you can clean
it with a wire brush.
(Adjusting the gap between electrodes)
•
The side electrode gap should normally be within 0.6 to 0.7 mm
(as shown in the figure).
•
Recommended type of spark plug for use: NGK
NOTE:
Never use other types of spark plug than the recommended one.
CAUTION:
•
Avoid burning yourself when working at a hot engine just shout down.
•
Screw the spark into place first by hand and tighten it with the socket wrench.
