MAINTENANCE
Spark plug
Remove the carbon deposits from the spark plug
with a small wire brush or a spark plug cleaning
machine. After cleaning (or when installing a new
spark plug) readjust the spark plug gap to specified
limit by using a spark plug gap thickness gauge.
The spark plug should be replaced periodically.
Whenever removing the carbon deposits, be sure
to observe the color of the removed spark plug's
porcelain tip. This color tells you whether or not the
standard spark plug is suitable for your type of
riding. Under normal usage, a spark plug's
porcelain tip should be light brown or tan color.
If the spark plug porcelain tip is very white or
glazed appearing, then the spark plug has been
operating too hot. In such a situation, you should
replace the standard spark plug with a spark plug
that has a colder heat range (usually a higher
number; consult with your KYMCO dealer when
selecting an alternate spark plug).
CAUTION
An improper spark plug may have an incorrect fit
or heat range for your engine. This may cause
severe engine damage which will not be covered
under warranty. Never use a spark plug with an
improper heat range, as severe engine damage
could result.
