Spark Plugs Are Easily Cleaned And Maintained
Spark plugs lose effectiveness after about 10 000 miles. Keep gaps at .020 to .025 inches, remove carbon with cloth and polish, and avoid full disassembly. If worn or coated, replace plugs to prevent power loss and misfiring, which raises fuel use and engine wear.
