SPARK PLUGS/SPARK PLUG CABLES8.7
SPARK PLUGS
Inspect spark plugs at 5000 miles (8,000 km) and replace at
10,000 miles (16,000 km).
The number 6R12 plug is supplied as original equipment and
is the only plug that should be used. The resistor plug
reduces radio interference created by the ignition system and
will not adversely affect performance or fuel economy.
REMOVAL
1. Remove spark plug cables. SeeSPARK PLUG CABLES
on the next page.
2. Remove spark plug using a 5/8 inch spark plug socket.
INSPECTION
See Figure 8-9. Examine plugs as soon as they have been
removed. The deposits on the plug base are an indication of
the plug efficiency and are a guide to the general condition of
rings, valves, carburetor and ignition system.
a. A wet black and shiny deposit on plug base, elec-
trodes and ceramic insulator tip indicate an oil
fouled plug. The condition may be caused by worn
rings and pistons, loose valves or seals, weak battery or faulty ignition.
b. A dry fluffy or sooty black deposit indicates a too
rich carburetor air-fuel mixture or long periods of
engine idling. Excessive use of the enrichener may
also cause this condition.
c. An overheated plug can be identified by a light
brown, glassy deposit. This condition may be
accompanied by cracks in the insulator or by erosion of the electrodes. This condition is caused by
too lean an air-fuel mixture, a hot running engine,
valves not seating or improper ignition timing. The
glassy deposit on the spark plug is a conductor
when hot and may cause high speed misfiring. A
plug with eroded electrodes, heavy deposits or a
cracked insulator should be replaced.
d. A plug with white, yellow or light tan to rusty brown
powdery deposit indicates balanced combustion.
The deposits may be cleaned off at regular intervals
if desired.
CLEANING
Figure 8-9. Types of Plug Base Deposits
2. Use a thin file to flatten spark plug electrodes. A spark
plug with sharp edges on its electrodes requires 25%40% less firing voltage than one with rounded edges.
3. Adjust spark plug gap. See ADJUSTMENT below.
ADJUSTMENT
Use only a wire-type gauge. Bend the outside electrode so
only a slight drag on the gauge is felt when passing it
between electrodes. Never make adjustments by bending the
center electrode. Set gap on all plugs at 0.038-0.043 in.
(0.97-1.09 mm).
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing spark plugs, check condition of threads
in cylinder head and on plug. If necessary soften deposits with penetrating oil and clean out with a thread
chaser.
2. Apply a very light coating of ANTISEIZE LUBRICANT to
spark plug threads. Install spark plug. Tighten spark plug
to 12-18 ft-lbs (16-24 Nm).
1. Degrease firing end of spark plug using ELECTRICAL
CONTACT CLEANER. Dry spark plug with compressed
air.
8-102004 Touring: Electrical
If a torque wrench is not available, finger-tighten spark
plug and then using a spark plug wrench, tighten plug an
additional 1/4-turn.
H
OME
3. Connect spark plug cables to spark plugs. Make sure
boots/caps are secured properly.
4. Check engine idle speed, and adjust if necessary.
SPARK PLUG CABLES
Resistor-type high-tension cables have a carbon-impregnated fabric core (instead of solid wire) for radio noise suppression and improved reliability of electronic components.
Use the exact replacement cable for best results.
REMOVAL
1WARNING1WARNING
Never disconnect a spark plug cable with the engine running. Doing so will result in an electric shock from the
ignition system that could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
When disconnecting a spark plug cable from the spark
plug terminal, always grasp and pull on the rubber boot
at the end of the cable assembly (as close to the spark
plug terminal as possible). Pulling on the cable portion
will damage the carbon core.
1. Disconnect spark plug cables from ignition coil and
spark plug terminals.
INSPECTION
1. Check cables for cracks or loose terminals.
2. Check spark plug cable resistance with an ohmmeter.
Resistance must be as follows:
Table 8-1. Spark Plug Cable Resistance
Position
Front /Rear20 Inches (508 mm)5,000 - 11,666
3. Replace cables that are worn or damaged, or that do not
meet resistance specifications.
4. Check cable boots/caps for cracks or tears. Also check
for loose fit on ignition coil and spark plugs. Replace
boots/caps if defects are noted.

BATTERY CHARGING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never charge a battery without first reviewing the instructions
for the charger being used. In addition to the manufacturer’s
instructions, follow these general safety precautions:
Always wear proper eye, face and hand protection.
●
●
Always charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Turn the charger “OFF” before connecting the leads
●
to the battery to avoid dangerous sparks.
●
Never try to charge a visibly damaged or frozen battery.
●Connect the charger leads to the battery; red posi-
tive (+) lead to the positive (+) terminal and black
negative (–) lead to the negative (–) terminal. If the
battery is still in the vehicle, connect the negative
lead to the chassis ground. Be sure that the ignition
and all electrical accessories are turned off.
●Make sure that the charger leads to the battery are
not broken, frayed or loose.
●If the battery becomes hot, or if violent gassing or
spewing of electrolyte occurs, reduce the charging
rate or turn off the charger temporarily.
●Always turn the charger “OFF” before removing
charger leads from the battery to avoid dangerous
sparks.
CHARGING BATTERY
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
1. Battery top must be clean and dry. Dirt and electrolyte
on top of the battery can cause battery to self-discharge.
Clean battery top with a solution of baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate) and water (5 teaspoons baking soda per
quart or liter of water). When the solution stops bubbling,
rinse off the battery with clean water.
2. Clean cable connectors and battery terminals using a
wire brush or sandpaper. Remove any oxidation.
3. Inspect the battery screws, clamps and cables for breakage, loose connections and corrosion. Clean clamps.
4. Check the battery posts for melting or damage caused
by overtightening.
5. Inspect the battery for discoloration, raised top or a
warped or distorted case, which might indicate that the
battery has been frozen, overheated or overcharged.
6. Inspect the battery case for cracks or leaks.
Charge the battery if any of the following conditions exist:
●Vehicle lights appear dim.
●Electric starter sounds weak.
●Battery has not been used for an extended period of
time.
Always charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
Explosive hydrogen gas escapes from the battery during
charging. Keep open flames, electrical sparks and smoking materials away from the battery at all times. Failure
to do so could result in death or serious injury.
If the battery releases an excessive amount of gas during charging, decrease the charging rate. If the battery
gets hotter than 110˚F. (43˚C) during charging, discontinue charging and allow the battery to cool. Overheating
may result in plate distortion, internal shorting, dryout or
other damage.
