MAINTENANCE
Spark Plugs
Normal Spark Plug
The normal insulator tip is gray, tan or light brown. There will be few
combustion deposits. The electrodes are not burned or eroded. This indi-
cates the proper type and heat range for the engine and the service.
Tip: The tip should not be white. A white insulator tip indicates overheating,
caused by use of an improper spark plug or incorrect throttle body adjust-
ments.
Wet Fouled Spark Plug
The wet fouled insulator tip is black. A damp oil film covers the firing
end. There may be a carbon layer over the entire nose. Generally, the
electrodes are not worn. General causes of fouling are excessive oil or
rich fuel mixture.
