To check the spark plug
1. Check the condition of the spark plug. If
electrode erosion becomes excessive or
carbon and other deposits are exces-
sive, replace the spark plug with the
specified plug.
2. Measure the spark plug gap using a
thickness gauge. If the spark plug gap is
out of specification, replace the spark
plug with the specified plug.
To install the spark plug
1. Wipe off any dirt from the threads, insu-
lator, and gasket surface of the spark
plug.
2. Install the spark plug, and then tighten it
to the specified torque.
TIP:
If a torque-wrench is not available when you
are reinstalling a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/12 turn past finger-
tight. When you are installing a new spark
plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is
1/2 turn past finger-tight.
3. F115, LF115: Install the spark plug cap.
4. F130: Install the ignition coil, and then
tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
5. Install the cover.
