CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
Recommended spark plugs:
BPR6ES (NGK), W20EPR-U (NIPPONDENSO Co., Ltd.)
CAUTION :
• Only use the recommended type of spark plug.
• The use of spark plugs with an incorrect heat range can cause
damage to the engine.
If the engine has been running, do not touch the muffler or the
spark plug as you risk burning yourself.
1. Remove the cap and unscrew the spark plug using a spark plug
spanner.
2. Examine the spark plug carefully, and replace it if there are thick
deposits on the electrodes or if the insulator is cracked or
broken. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.
CAUTION :
• Never clean the spark plug by sand blasting.
3. Measure the gap between the electrodes with a
set of feeler gauges: it must be between 0.7 and
0.8 mm. If the gap has to be adjusted, bend the
side electrode carefully.
4. Check the state of the sealing washer, then
thread the plug back in by hand until it is hand-
tight and seated properly.
5. Using a spark plug spanner, screw the plug in an
extra 1/2 turn for a new spark plug, to compress
its washer, or between 1/8 and 1/4 turn in the
case of a plug being reused. Put the spark plug cap back on.
CAUTION :
• The spark plug must be properly tightened or else it is likely to
overheat considerably, causing damage to the engine.
