Spark Plug Maintenance

1.Disconnect spark plug wire from end of plug. Clean out debris from around spark plug.

2.Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.

3.Inspect the spark plug:

If the electrode is oily, clean it using a clean, dry rag.

If the electrode has deposits on it, polish it using emery paper.

If the white insulator is cracked or chipped, the spark plug needs to be replaced.

4.When installing a new spark plug, adjust the plug’s gap to the specification on the Technical specification chart. Do not pry against the electrode or the insulator, the spark plug can be damaged.

5.Install the new spark plug or the cleaned spark plug into the engine.

Gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the gasket contacts the cylinder head, then about 1/2-2/3 turn more. Non-gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the plug contacts the head, then about 1/16 turn more.

6.Apply dielectric spark plug boot protector (not included) to the end of the spark plug and reattach the wire securely.
