Section B.4
CAPACITOR
If
the capacitor is suspected check by substitution
of
a
new one and note the difference, if any, in the engine
running.
SPARKING
PLUGS
Remove, clean, and adjust the sparking plugs
at
the
recommended intervals and
if
they are suspected
to
be
the cause
of
poor
performance:
(1) Blow all dirt from around the plugs before un-
screwing them; remove the plugs and gaskets.
(2)
Clean the plugs with abrasive blasting equipment.
(3)
Adjust the gaps with a Champion Sparking Plug
Tool, bending the side electrode only.
(4)
Clean the gasket seatings in the cylinder head and
screw the plugs with gaskets into position.
If
the
original gaskets have been compressed
to
less than
half their thickness, fit new. Tighten the plugs to
the recommended torque
(see
'GENERALDATA').
