Care of Spark Plugs
j Most spark plugs are easily dis- s : mantled for cleaning purposes, j I and an occasional renovation of : : the spark plugs on a car is well jj | worth while. After tho two i j parts of tho plugs have been : ! detached with spanners or in a : j vice the mica insulation on tho • I inside of tho plug should bo : j cleaned with a rag dipped in [ I petrol—in no circumstances j | should an abrasive material be • : used. Tho points should then be •} j rubbed with emery paper, and | j after all carbon has been re- : i moved tho plug should bo re- j ; assembled, taking care that tho | j joint is sufficiently firm to | j make it gastight. The nointß j • should then be set so that a • j gap of about 18/1000 in. is left. | | or, with a low compression ana j j coil ignition about 25/1000. : j i
