2) Carbon fouled
Dry fluffy carbon deposits on insulator and electrode are
mostly caused by slow speed driving in city, weak ignition,
too rich fuel mixture, dirty air cleaner, etc.
It is advisable to replace with plugs having hotter heat
range.
G6M0089
3) Oil fouled
Wet black deposits show excessive oil entrance into com-
bustion chamber through worn rings and pistons or exces-
sive clearance between valve guides and stems. If same
condition remains after repair, use a hotter plug.
G6M0090
4) Overheating
White or light gray insulator with black or gray brown spots
and bluish burnt electrodes indicate engine overheating.
Moreover, the appearance results from incorrect ignition
timing, loose spark plugs, wrong selection of fuel, hotter
range plug, etc. It is advisable to replace with plugs having
colder heat range.
G6M0091
C: CLEANING AND REGAPPING
Clean spark plugs in a sand blast type cleaner.
Avoid excessive blasting. Clean and remove carbon or
oxide deposits, but do not wear away porcelain.
If deposits are too stubborn, discard plugs.
After cleaning spark plugs, recondition firing surface of
electrodes with file. Then correct the spark plug gap using
a gap gauge.
Spark plug gap: L
1.0—1.1 mm (0.039—0.043 in)

4. Ignition Coil
A: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1) Disconnect battery ground cable.
2) Disconnect connector from ignition coil.
3) Remove ignition coil.
4) Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be sure to connect wires to their proper positions.
Failure to do so will damage unit.
