Checking the Spark Plug
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the spark plug(s). Always replace the spark plug(s) when it has a black
coating, worn electrodes, an oily film, or cracks.
If you see light brown or gray on the insulator, the engine is operating properly. A black
coating on the insulator usually means the air cleaner is dirty.
Set the gap to 0.75 mm (0.03 inch).
