Spark Plug Gap:
1. Disconnect spark plug cable from the spark plug. If the spark plug cable is removed by pulling on the cable, it may be damaged.

Caution: Use care not to allow foreign matter to enter through plug holes.
3. Check the spark plugs for the following:
Broken insulator
Worn electrode
Carbon deposits
Damaged or broken gasket
Burnt condition of porcelain insulator at spark gap.
Note: Dark deposits indicate too rich a fuel mixture, light (white) deposits indicate too lean a fuel mixture, advanced ignition timing or insufficient plug tightening
4. Check plug gap using a plug gap gauge and adjust if necessary.
