CAUTION
When replacing a spark plug, check the pitch and
length of the thread.
If the threaded part is too short, carbon deposits will
settle on the thread seat and may result in damage to
the engine when the correct one is positioned back in
place.
Only use the recommended spark plug type, other-
wise the performance and service life of the engine
may be compromised.
Use a feeler gauge (see figure) to check the distance
between the electrodes to avoid damaging the plati-
num coating.
◆
Check the distance between the electrodes with a feel-
er gauge. The gap must be in the range 0.6 – 0.7 mm.
Where necessary, adjust it by carefully bending the
ground electrode.
◆
Make sure the washer is in a good state of repair. With
the washer fitted, screw the spark plug on by hand to
avoid damaging the threads
.
◆
Tighten the spark plug by means of the spanner you will
find in the tool kit, giving it half a turn to compress the
washer.
