Cleaning and adjusting spark plug The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate something about the condition of the engine.For example,if the center electrode porcelain is very white,this could indicate an intake air leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder.Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself.
Page 111
1. Remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs. 2. Remove the spark plug.If electrode erosion becomes excessive,or if carbon and other deposits are excessive,you should replace the spark plug with another of the correct type. WARNING! When removing or installing a spark plug,be careful not to damage the insulator.A damaged insulator could allow external sparks,which could lead to explosion or fire.
