Please take a look at our instructional VIDEO.
PROCEDURE:
– Before every assembly, remove the tank: disconnect the hoses and undo the velcro with
which the tank is attached.
– Check the engine, of it, is not too hot. We recommend performing the assembly minimum
0.5 hours after the engine was switched off.
– Check whether the ICU control unit is not on (the indicator is not lit or flashing)!
- Take off the holder from the spark plug boot.
- Remove the spark plug boot.
- Screw the spark plug out using a spark plug spanner.
- Using a gauge check the gap between the electrodes on the new spark plug. If necessary, adjust the gap by slightly bending the electrode. The gap should be 0.7 – 0.8 mm.
- Insert a new spark plug in the seat, FIRST SCREW THE SPARK PLUG IN USING YOUR HAND to prevent damaging of the thread. When the spark plug is in the seat, tighten it carefully with a spark plug spanner. If the spark plug is brand new, tighten it with a spanner by 2/3 of a turn. If the spark plug has been used before, tighten only by 1/8 – 1/4 of a turn. WHEN TIGHTENING THE SPARK PLUG, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE SPARK PLUG MANUFACTURER!
- Mount the boot on the spark plug. The boot is mounted correctly if the spark plug insulator is fully covered by the boot.
- Place the boot holder on the spark plug boot.
