Checking Spark Plug
•
Remove the Engine Service Panel to gain access to the spark plug.
•
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
•
Before removing the spark plug, clean the area around its base to prevent debris from
entering the engine.
•
Insert a 19mm, 6-point, deep-well spark plug socket wrench through the opening on
the outside of the cover. Turn the wrench counter clockwise to loosen and remove
spark plug.
•
Check for discoloration and clean carbon deposits from the electrode with a wire
brush.
•
Check the electrode gap and slowly adjust to 0.6 - 0.7mm (0.024-0.028 in) if
necessary.
•
Reinstall spark plug and tighten to 20.0Nm (15 ft-lb) of torque.
•
If spark plug is worn, replace only with an equivalent type. Spark plug should be
replaced annually regardless of apparent condition.
•
Reconnect spark plug wire, firmly, until it clicks into place.
