Periodic maintenance and adjustment is too long, overheating and engine damage may result. If the reach is too short, spark plug fouling and poor performance may result. Also, if the reach is too short, carbon will form on the exposed threads resulting in combustion chamber hot spots and thread damage. Always use a spark plug with the specified reach. Spark plug reach: 19.0 mm (0.75 in) ECS00382 NOTICE Make sure that the spark plug caps are securely installed. Otherwise the spark plug caps could be damaged due to engine vibration.
