hoses, wires or other components. Place the tank on a stable
surface or work bench to protect the valve from
contamination or damage.

Remove spark plug high tension lead. Clean plug area so
no dirt and debris can fall into engine when plug is
removed.

Remove spark plug. and inspect electrodes for wear and
carbon buildup. The insulator tip should be a light tan color,
indicating good combustion. Look for a sharp outer
electrode edge with no rounding or erosion.

If needed, clean spark plug with electrical contact cleaner
or a glass bead spark plug cleaner only.
NOTE: Wire brushes or coated abrasives should not
be used.
10. Measure gap with a wire gauge. Refer to specifications for
proper spark plug type and gap. Adjust gap if necessary by
bending the side electrode carefully.
11. If necessary, replace spark plug with proper type.
12. Apply a small amount of anti–seize compound to the spark
plug threads.
13. Install spark plug and torque to specification. Reverse steps
as needed for reassembly.
Ignition Timing
Timing is non-adjustable. Refer to Chapter 7 for ignition timing
inspection.
