1. Put the spark plug cap back on.
2. Grab the rubber of the spark plug cap and press the outermost electrode against the mass of
the engine.
3. Pull the starter cord.
4. Check for sparks between the electrodes.
5. The spark plug is in good condition if the sparks are clear and neatly centred between the
electrodes.
6. Weak, irregular and not well-centred sparks indicate that the spark plug must be changed.
Caution:
Fitting or changing a spark plug must be done with utmost caution so as not
to damage the screw thread in the cylinder head. Secure the spark plug with a
torque of 20 Nm.
