Recommended type of spark plug: CHAMPION RG6YC - NGK
CR7EKB. The spark plug is an essential component:
• Proper care of the plug is important for maintaining the engine
in perfect working order.
• For maintenance, remove the side partition (P - Fig. 33), care-
fully remove the cap by turning it clockwise and anticlockwise
1
alternatively. Now, unscrew the spark plug using the special
wrench supplied with the vehicle (all operations on the spark
plug must be performed when the engine is cold).
2
• Examine the spark plug conditions after a reasonably long
drive (10-15 km) and after letting the engine cool down (at
least 10-15 minutes), since the sediments and the colour of
3
the insulator can provide useful information about the heat
degree of the spark plug, carburetion, lubrication and general
conditions of the engine. If the insulator is light brown around
the central electrode, it indicates good working order.
4
Spark plugs with a heat degree different from the rec-
ommended one may seriously damage the engine.
5
It is imperative that any spark plug exhibiting cracks on
the insulator or corroded electrodes be replaced.
