CARBON DEPOSITS
Check to see if there are carbon deposits on the spark plug. If
carbon is deposited, remove it with a spark plug cleaner
machine or carefully use a tool with a pointed end.
SPARK PLUG GAP
Measure the spark plug gap with a thickness gauge. If the spark
plug gap is out of specification, adjust the gap.
& Standard
Spark plug gap: 0.7 – 0.8 mm (0.028 – 0.031 in)

ELECTRODE
Check the condition of the electrode.
If the electrode is extremely worn or burnt, replace the spark
plug with a new one.
Also, replace the spark plug if it has a broken insulator, dam-
aged threads, etc.

Check the thread size and reach when replacing the
spark plug. If the reach is too short, carbon will be
deposited on the screw portion of the spark plug hole
and engine damage may result.
