4. Clean around the spark plugs to prevent dirt from
falling into the engine and potentially causing
damage.
5. Remove the spark plugs and the metal washers.
Checking the Spark Plugs
1. Look at the center of the spark plugs (Figure 30).
If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the
engine is operating properly. A black coating on the
insulator usually means that the air cleaner is dirty.
2. If needed, clean the spark plug with a wire brush to
remove carbon deposits.

Important:
Always replace the spark plugs
when it has a black coating, worn electrodes,
an oily film, or cracks.
3. Check the gap between the center and side electrodes
(Figure 30). Bend the side electrode (Figure 30) if
the gap is not correct.
Installing the Spark Plugs
1. Install the spark plugs and the metal washer. Ensure
that the air gap is set correctly.
2. Tighten the spark plugs to 16 ft-lb (22 N•m).
3. Connect the wires to the spark plugs (Figure 30).
