Checking spark plugs
Unscrew spark plug. Insert spark plug into suppressor on
spark plug wire and touch spark plug electrode to a ground,
such as the cylinder head. A strong spark must be visible
between the spark plug electrodes when operating the star-
ter. Oily plugs or dirty electrodes do not spark and must be
cleaned first with a piece of wood or a steel wire brush. The
electrode gap should be from .016 - .020 in. (0,40to0,50 mm),
if larger, adjust by bending the ground electrode. When
replacing the spark plug ensure thread matches properly
and the plug can be screwed in easily. Never apply force.
Screw in plug by hand for 2 to 3 turns before using the spark
plug spanner. Torque to 14.5 ft/lb (20 Nm).
