4. INSPECT ELECTRODE GAP
Maximum electrode gap: 1.3 mm, (0.051 in.)
If the gap is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.
Correct electrode gap of new spark plug:
1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend only the base
of the ground electrode. Do not touch the tip.
5. CLEAN SPARK PLUGS
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and
then clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure: Below6 kg/cm
2 (85 psi, 588 kPa)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
HINT: If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before
using the spark plug cleaner.3. VISUALLY INSPECT SPARK PLUGS
Check the spark plug for thread or insulation damage.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug: ND PQ2OR
