Spark Plug Maintenance:
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from end of plug. Clean
out debris from around the spark plug.
2. Using the spark plug wrench provided, remove the
spark plug. Inspect the spark plug. If the electrode is
oily, clean it using a clean, dry rag. If the electrode has
deposits on it, polish it using emery paper. If the white
insulator is cracked or chipped, replace the spark plug.
3. When installing a new spark plug, adjust the plug’s gap
to the specification on the technical specification chart.
Do not pry against the electrode or the insulator, the
spark plug can be damaged (see Figure 16).
4. Install the new spark plug or the cleaned spark plug into
the engine. Gasket style spark plugs should be
finger-tightened until the gasket contacts the cylinder
head, then turned about 1/2 to 2/3 more rotation.
Non-gasket-style spark plugs should be finger-tightened
until the plug contacts the head, then about 1/16 turn more.
