NOTE: Do not clean spark plug in a machine using

condition.

Gap 0.76 mm (0.030 in.)
Thread Size 12 mm

Service
Clean out spark plug recess. Remove plug and replace.

2. Install plug into cylinder head.

Inspection
Inspect each spark plug as it is removed from cylinder
head. Deposits on tip are an indication of general
condition of piston rings, valves, and carburetor.
Normal and fouled plugs are shown in following photos:
Normal
Plug taken from an engine operating under normal
conditions will have light tan or gray colored deposits. If
center electrode is not worn, plug can be set to proper
gap and reused.
Worn
On a worn plug, center electrode will be rounded and
gap will be greater than specifi ed gap. Replace a worn
spark plug immediately.
Wet Fouled
A wet plug is caused by excess fuel or oil in combustion
chamber. Excess fuel could be caused by a restricted air
cleaner, a carburetor problem, or operating engine with
too much choke. Oil in combustion chamber is usually
caused by a restricted air cleaner, a breather problem,
worn piston rings, or valve guides.
