SPARK PLUG SERVICE

Recommended spark plugs:
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly
gapped and free of deposits.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful
not to touch the muffler.
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug.
4. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn or if the
insulator is cracked, chipped, or fouled.
5. Measure the plug gap with a wire-type feeler gauge.
Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.
The gap should be:
0.028 0.031 in (0.7 0.8 mm)
32
BPR5ES (NGK)
W16EPR-U (DENSO)
