Before you start

  • Do not blast the spark plugs to clean.

Procedure

  1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs to keep dirt and debris out of the engine.
  2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition. Replace if worn or if reuse is questionable.
  3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust the gap to 0.5-0.6 mm (0.020-0.025 inch) by carefully bending the ground electrode.
