3.2 Cleaning and adjusting spark plug 

 

You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and deposits will cause the spark plug 
to slowly break down and erode.   
If necessary, you should replace the spark plug with another of the correct type. Before fitting the spark plug, 
measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the gap to specification if necessary. 

0.6-0.7mm

         

 

When fitting the plug, always clean the gasket surface and use a new gasket.   

Wipe off any dirt from the threads and screw in the spark plug to the correct torque. 

 

3.3 Checking the fuel system 

 

1. Check the fuel lines for leaks, crack, or malfunction. If a problem is found, your PARSUN dealer or other 
qualified mechanic should repair it immediately.
