Spark Plug Condition Inspection
Visually inspect the spark plugs.
If the spark plug center electrode [A] and/or side elec-
trode [B] are corroded or damaged, or if the insulator [C]
is cracked, replace the plug.
If the spark plug is dirtied or the carbon is accumulated,
replace the spark plug.
Measure the gap [D] with a wire-type thickness gauge.
If the gap is incorrect, replace the spark plug.
Spark Plug Gap: 0.8 0.9 mm (0.032 0.035 in.)
Use the standard spark plug or its equivalent.
