Spark Plug: Adjustment

Clean the spark plugs using a wire brush.

Clean and remove the carbon or oxide deposits. But do not wear away ceramic insulator at this time. If deposits are too stubborn, replace the spark plugs.

NOTE: Do not use a plug cleaner because the spark plugs are applied with iridium tip.
