Spark Plug Service

Spark plug type: F6RTC/F6TC/F7RTC/F7TC
For normal engine operation, ensure the spark plug gap is correct
and check for carbon deposit around the spark plug.
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Clear away dirt around the spark plug base.
3. Dismantle the spark plug with a spark plug wrench.
4. Visually check the spark plug. Clean with a steel brush. If the
insulator is damaged, replace the spark plug.
5. Measure the spark plug clearance with a spark plug gap
gauge. The clearance should be 0.7-0.8 mm. If adjustment is
necessary, bend the side electrode carefully.
6. Check if the spark plug gasket is in good condition. To
prevent cross threading, screw in by hand.
7. Screw in the spark plug to the bottom first by hand and then
screw in by a spark plug wrench and compress the gasket.
7a. If a new spark plug is used, twist another 1/2 turn after
compressing the gasket.
7b. If reinstalling a used spark plug, only twist another
1/8-1/4 turn.
