Basic Maintenance Procedures
A fouled (dirty) spark plug can cause your
minibike to run poorly and lose performance.
Follow the steps below to inspect, clean and/or
replace the spark plug if needed.
1.To access the spark plug you must first remove
the plastic engine cover.
2.Remove 3- Phillip head screws. 2- on the left
side and 1-on the right side of the cover.
3. Slide the engine cover off thru the right side of
the mini bike.
4. Clean any dust and dirt from around the spark
plug base.
5. Disconnect the spark plug cap.
6. Remove the spark plug using a 16mm socket
or wrench.
7. Using the photos below for reference, examine
the plug to determine its cleanliness. If the
plug is a normal color, go on to step 9. If the
plug is fouled (dirty), go to step 8.
8. Using a moderate grit sandpaper (220-400),
sand between the center electrode and the
side electrode until all carbon and oil
deposits are removed. Burromax
recommends that you use a spark plug
cleaner or a new spark plug if the plug is
very dirty.
9. Inspect the spark plug electrodes for wear. The
center electrode should have square edges.
The side electrode should not be eroded at all.
The insulator should not be cracked or chipped.
Replace the plug with an CMR5H (NGK) spark
plug or equivalent if any electrode wear and/or
cracks are present.
10. Check the spark plug gap using a spark
plug gapper. Gappers can be purchased at
your local auto parts store. The spark plug
gap should be .030 in (0.7mm). Always
check the gap of a new spark plug before
you install it.
11. Be sure all dirt has been cleaned from the threads. Install the spark plug by hand. This
will prevent stripping and/or cross threading of the threads. Use a 16mm socket or
wrench to securely tighten the spark plug. Do not over or under tighten the spark plug.
12.Reinstall the plastic engine cover. Make sure engine kill switch wires are securely in
place. Reinstall the 3 screws and tighten.
Improperly tightened spark plugs can damage the engine. Too
loose, you can burn a hole in the piston. Too loose/tight, you can damage the
threads of the engine.
