4. VISUALLY INSPECT SPARK PLUGSCheck the spark plug for thread damage and insulator dam-
age.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug: ND PK20R11
NGK BKR6EP11
5. INSPECT ELECTRODE GAP
Maximum electrode gap: 1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
If the gap is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.
Correct electrode gap of new spark plug:1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
NOTICE: If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bent
only the base of the ground electrode. Do not touch the
tip. Never attempt to adjust the gap on the used plug.
6. CLEAN SPARK PLUGS If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and
then clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure: Below 588 kPa (6 kgf/cm2, 85 psi)
Duration: 20 seconds or less
HINT: If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before
using the spark plug cleaner.
7. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS Using a 16 mm plug wrench, install the spark plug.
Torque: 18 N Vm (180 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)

of
the check (ºDIAGNOSISº) connector.
HINT: Set the tachometer to the 4±cylinder range.
NOTICE:
w Never allow the tachometer tester probe to touch ground
as it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition
coil.
w As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of your unit before use.
