Burned or worn electrodes may be causecl by:
. Advanced ignition timing
. Loose spark plug
. Plug heat range too low
. Insufficient cooling
Fouled plugs may be caused bY:
. Retarded ignition timang
. Oil in combustion chamber
. Incorrect spark plug gap
. Plug heat rangetoo high
. Excessive idling/low speed running
. Clogged air cleaner element
. Deteriorated ignition coil or ignition wares
