Spark Plug Gap Inspection

1.  Inspect the spark plug gap.

Spark plug gap
Standard: 1.0—1.2 mm {0.039—0.047 in}
New spark plug (reference): 1.0—1.1 mm {0.039—0.043 in}
•  If it exceeds the specification, adjust the plug gap.


Cleaning

1.  If there is carbon adhering to the spark plug, clean it with the wire brush and remove the carbon.

Note
•  If there is no plug cleaner when cleaning the spark plug, remove the dirt from the spark plug completely and wash with the gasoline.
