Accelerate the engine to about 3,000 rpm 3 times or more. |
2. |
Remove the spark plug. |
3. |
Check the spark plug visually. If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is normal. If the electrode is wet, check the damage and electrode gap as below. |
[Component Inspection] |
1. |
Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator. If there is damage, replace the spark plug. |
2. |
Check the electrode. Measure the insulation resistance with an ohmmeter. If the resistance is less than the specified value, adjust the electrode gap.
|
3. |
Check the spark plug electrode gap. If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the spark plug.
