Spark Plugs
Engine misfire and starting difficulty are often
caused by the spark plug being in poor condition
or being improperly gapped. The spark plug
should be removed after every 1 00 hours of op-
eration for a check of its condition. At this time
the gap should be reset or the spark plug re-
placed as necessary. Refer to Figure
8-9.
