      8. Visually check the spark plug.

        HINT: 

        If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is functioning properly. If the electrode is damp, proceed to the next step.

    3. Check the spark plug for any damage to its threads and insulator.

      If there is any damage, replace the spark plug.

      NOTE:

      Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.

      If the electrode gap is more than the maximum, replace the spark plug.

      Standard Electrode Gap for New Spark Plug
