Fig. 45 Gapping the Spark Plug
Fouled spark plug is indicated by a wet, black appear-
ance. This could be caused by a dirty air filter element
or other restrictions in the air intake system. Incorrectly
adjusted valves, spark plug wire which is in poor condi-
tion or poor quality fuel could also contribute to the
problem.

PROLONGED STORAGE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death resulting from a possible explosion:
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not
adequately ventilated. Do not smoke near
the fuel tank or refuel near open flame or
electrical items which could produce a
spark.
Store vehicle in a clean, dry area. Do not
store in same area as a stove, furnace,
water heater, or other appliance that uses a
pilot light or has a device that can create a
spark.
When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for
leaks or breaks that could result in fuel spill-
age.
Always wear safety glasses while refueling
to prevent possible eye injury from gasoline
or gasoline vapor.
Keep hands, clothing and jewelry away from
moving parts. Use care not to contact hot
objects. Raise the rear of the vehicle and
support on jack stands before attempting to
run the engine.
Gap
Preparing the engine for a prolonged storage period (30
days or more) calls for a few simple steps to prevent a
build up of varnish and gum in the carburetor and corro-
sion in the engine.
Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack
stands. Refer to 'Lifting the Vehicle' for proper lift-
ing procedure and safety information.
Disconnect the fuel hose at the fuel tank and plug
hose.
With proper ventilation, depress the accelerator
pedal and allow engine to run until it stops due to
lack of fuel.
Remove spark plug and pour about 1 oz. (30 ml)
of engine oil into the cylinder. Replace spark plug,
ground spark plug wire and use starter to turn
engine over a few seconds to distribute oil.
Add a gasoline additive to the tank in accordance
with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Reattach fuel line to tank and drive the vehicle for
several minutes to circulate the additive through
the carburetor.
While engine is still warm, change oil.
Clean body, chassis and engine of debris, mud,
chaff or grass.
