•
Visually inspect the spark plugs.
If the electrode is dry . . . . Okay
If the electrode is wet . . . . Proceed to step 3.
2. REMOVE
SPARK
PLUGS
Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
3.
VISUALLY INSPECT SPARK PLUGS
Check the spark plug for thread or insulation damage.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug: ND PQ20R
NGK BCPR6EP11
4.
INSPECT ELECTRODE GAP
Maximum electrode gap: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
If the gap is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.
Correct electrode gap of new spark plug:
1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend only the base
of the ground electrode. Do not touch the tip.
5. CLEAN
SPARK
PLUGS
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and
then clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure: Below 6 kg/cm
2
(85 psi, 588 kPa)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
HINT: If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before
using the spark plug cleaner.
6. INSTALL
SPARK
PLUGS
Using a 16 mm plug wrench, install and torque the spark plug.
Torque: 180 kg–cm (13 ft–lb, 18 N
