1. |
Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator.
If there is damage, replace the spark plug. |
2. |
Check the electrode. Measure the insulation resistance with an ohmmeter.
If the resistance is less than the specified value, adjust the electrode gap.

3. |
Check the spark plug electrode gap.
If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the spark plug.
