SPARK PLUG

A spark plug with heavy carbon deposits will not produce 
strong  sparks.  Hence,  as  per  schedule  or,  as  and  when 
necessary, clean the carbon deposits from the spark plug 
with a small wire brush or a spark plug cleaning tool.

Readjust the spark plug gap to 0.6 ~ 0.8 mm using a feeler 
gauge / wire gauge. Replace the spark plug every 12000 
km

. The carbon deposits on the porcelain tip and its colour 

tells you whether the combustion of the engine is good or 
not.

If the colour of tip is white or glazed, dry black or wet black 
then  have  the  vehicle  checked  by  TVS  Motor  Company 
Authorised  Distributor  or  Dealer  /  Authorised  Service 
Centre.
