Check Spark Plug Gap
Use a spark plug feeler gauge (A, Figure 15) to check the
gap between the two electrodes. When the gap is correct, the
gauge will drag slightly as you pull it through the gap.
If necessary, use the spark plug gauge to adjust the gap by
gently bending the curved electrode without touching the
center electrode or the porcelain.
