MAINTENANCE
Spark plug
Remove the carbon deposits from the spark plug
with a small wire brush or a spark plug cleaning
machine. After cleaning (or when installing a
new spark plug) readjust the spark plug
gap to specified limit by using a spark plug
gap thickness gauge. The spark plug
should be replaced periodically. Under nor-
mal usage, a spark plug's porcelain tip should
appear light brown or tan in color. If the spark plug
porcelain tip is very white or glazed appearing, then the spark
plug has been operating too hot. In such a situation,
you should replace the standard spark plug with a
spark plug that has a colder heat range (usually a
higher number; consult with your KYMCO dealer
when selecting an alternate spark plug).
An improper spark plug may have an incorrect fit or heat
range for your engine. This may cause severe engine dam-
age which will not be covered under warranty. Never use a
spark plug with an improper heat range, as severe engine
damage may result.
