SPARK PLUG

Remove the spark plug and clean the electrodes section with a wire brush or sandpaper. Next, set the gap at .028/.031 inches (0.7-0.8 mm) by adjusting the negative electrode. Replace the spark plug with correct torque: 14 ft-lb (20 N.m)

Replace with only the same type of spark plug which was removed. An improper spark plug can cause the engine to overheat, emit smoke, or otherwise perform poorly.
