For nickel spark plugs (traditional type):
You should inspect spark plugs periodically
for carbon deposits. When carbon accu-
mulates on a spark plug, a strong spark
may not be produced. Remove carbon
deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the
spark plug gap.
To access the spark plugs:
1) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
2) Remove the engine top cover.
3) If necessary, disconnect the coupler (1)
while pushing the release lever.
4) Remove the ignitor bolts.
5) Pull the spark plug boots out.
NOTE:
When installation, make sure the wires,
couplers, sealing rubber of top cover and
washers, are correctly returned in place.
