1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Remove the spark plug with the spark plug wrench.
3. Visually inspect the spark plug. Replace with a new plug if the insulation is
cracked or chipped. Clean with a wire brush if the spark plug is reused.
4. Measure the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge. The normal value is:
0.7-0.8 mm (0.028- 0.031 in). Adjust the gap by carefully bending the
electrode.
5. Carefully reinstall the spark plug by hand, to avoid cross-threading. A new
spark plug should be tightened 1/2 turn with a spanner. A used spark plug
should be tightened 1/8 to 1/4 turn with spanner.
6. Reinstall the spark plug cap.
NOTE
The spark plug must be securely tightened or it could cause the spark
plug to heat up, enough to damage the engine.
Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range.
