3.Checking the spark plug

CAUTION

When removing the spark plug, clean the spark plug and cylinder head first, so that no dirt, sand, etc will enter the cylinder.

You must remove the spark plug after the engine has cooled down in order to avoid damaging the threaded hole in the cylinder.

The spark plug must be installed properly into the threaded hole. If installed at an angle, the threaded hole in the cylinder will get damaged.

(1) Opening/closing the plug cover

To open the plug cover, pull up on the seam of the plug cover projection and slide in the direction of the “OPEN” indication as shown in the figure at right.

When closing the cover, slide the cover in the “CLOSE” direction till the click under the plug cover projection rides over the engine cover. Finally, push in the projection.

(2) Removing the spark plug

Use an attached box wrench to remove or install the spark plug.

(3) Checking the spark plug

The clearance between two electrodes of spark plug (see the figure left) is

0.7to 0.8 mm. Adjust to the correct clearance when it is too wide or too narrow.

Clean thoroughly or replace the spark plug if it has accumulated carbon or contaminated.

(4)Replacing the spark plug
