Inspect the spark plug electrodes (A) and (B) for any
corrosion. If found any replace the spark plug with a new
one.

gauge. Readjust the spark plug gap to 0.6 ~ 0.8 mm if
required.
After cleaning and adjusting the gap, reinstall the spark plug
and tighten by hand to avoid cross threading. Finally tighten
using the spanner. Do not over tighten or cross thread the
spark plug.
