INSPECT ELECTRODE
Using a megger (insulation resistance meter), measure
the insulation resistance.
Standard correct insulation resistance:
10 MQ or more
If the resistance is less than specified, proceed to step
3.
HINT: If a megger is not available, the following simple
method of inspection provides fairly accurate results.
Simple Method:
(a) Quickly race the engine to 4,000 rpm 5 times.
Remove the spark plug. (See step 3)
(c) Visually check the spark plug.
If the electrode is dry OK
If the electrode is wet Proceed to step 4
Reinstall the spark plug. (See step 7)
REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
Using SST, remove the 4 spark plugs.
