Checking the spark plugsThe spark plugs are important engine
components, which are easy to
check. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
the spark plugs should be removed
and checked in accordance with the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plugs can reveal the condition
of the engine.
To remove a spark plug
1.Remove the spark plug cap.1.Spark plug cap
