Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT SPARK PLUG







a. Check the appearance.
1. Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator. If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.




b. Check the electrode gap.

Standard: 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.) for new spark plug

Maximum: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.) for used spark plug.

If the result is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.
