Inspection
The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to
1
inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate the condition
of the engine. The ideal color on the white insulator around the
center electrode is a medium-to-light tan color for a ATV that is
being ridden normally. Do not attempt to diagnose such problem
yourself. Instead, take the ATV to dealer. You should periodically
remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and deposits will
cause the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. If electrode
erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are
excessive, you should replace the spark plug with the specified
plug.
