●
Check to see if there are carbon deposits on the spark plug. If
carbon is deposited, remove it with a spark plug cleaner machine
or carefully use a tool with a pointed end.
●
Measure the spark plug gap with a thickness gauge. If the spark
plug gap is out of specification, adjust the gap.
Spark Plug Gap
Standard
0.7 – 0.8 mm
Wire Gauge
●
Check the condition of the electrode.
●
If the electrode is extremely worn or burnt, replace the spark plug
with a new one.
●
Also, replace the spark plug if it has a broken insulator, damaged
threads, etc.
●
Insert the spark plug and tighten it to the cylinder head by hand
and then tighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening Torque: 14 N-m (1.4 kgf-m, 10.1 lb-ft)
Inspect every 2000 km (100 hours, 6 months).
Replace every 6000km.
CAUTION
Check the thread size and reach when replacing the spark plug.
If the reach is too short, carbon will be deposited on the screw
portion of the spark plug hole and engine damage may result.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the cylinder head threads; first, tighten the
spark plug by hand, and then tighten it to the specified torque
using the spark plug wrench.
0.7 – 0.8 mm
