Spark plug
The spark plug must be periodically cleaned and adjusted to provide reliable
ignition.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not
to touch the muffler while it is hot.
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped
and free of deposits.
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
2. Remove the spark plug with the plug wrench.
3. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if the electrodes are worn or if the insulator
is cracked or chipped. If it is to be reused, clean the spark plug with plug
cleaner. If the plug cleaner is not available at your authorized Honda dealer,
clean the plug with a wire brush.
