SPARK PLUG(S)

Reset the spark plug(s) gap or replace the spark
plug(s) as necessary. See the Service Schedule section
for maintenance requirements.
1. Clean the area around the base of the spark
plug(s) to keep dirt and debris out of the engine.
2. Remove the spark plug(s) and check the condi-
tion. Replace the spark plug(s) if worn or if reuse
is questionable. See the Service Schedule section
for recommended inspection. Clean by scraping
or washing using a wire brush and commercial
solvent. Do not blast the spark plug(s) to clean.
3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler
gauge. Adjust the gap to 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) for
7 and 10kW; and 1.02 mm (0.040 inch) for 13/16
kW by carefully bending the ground electrode
(Figure 4.9).
