IT is very useful to examine the status of the spark
plug just after it has been removed from its seat,
since the deposits and the colour of the insulator
provide useful information.
Correct heat rating:
The tip of the insulator should be dry and the colour
should be light brown or grey.
High heat rating:
In this case, the insulator tip is dry and covered with
dark deposits.
Low heat rating:
In this case, the spark plug has overheated and
insulator tip is vitrified (glazed), white or grey in
colour.

WARNING
If the spark plug is replaced, use one
with the same rating.

clean the electrodes and the insulator
