What is the function of spark plug cleaner

If there is some dirt on the spark plugs of any device or engine, it will affect its normal operation, so you must pay attention to the cleaning of the spark plugs, and the cleaning season of the spark plugs is essential. Regular cleaning of the spark plugs can effectively improve the economy and power of the engine, so now let us understand the correct cleaning method.

1. Before removing the spark plug from the engine cylinder, be sure to wipe off the dust and oil around the spark plug to prevent the dust and oil from entering the cylinder when the spark plug is removed. After removing the spark plug, also cover the spark plug installation hole to prevent foreign matter from falling into the cylinder.

2. After removing the spark plug, first use a knife or a used hacksaw blade to scrape off the dirt and carbon deposits on the spark plug (if the dirt and carbon deposits are not easy to scrape off, you can burn the spark plug with fire first. Be careful not to use strong fire to avoid burning the insulating material of the spark plug). After the dirt and carbon deposits are cleaned, rinse with gasoline and dry.

3. Before reinstalling the spark plug, check the electrode gap of the spark plug, which should comply with the specified value of the spark plug gap of the corresponding vehicle model. If the spark plug electrode gap does not meet the requirements, you can use a wooden tool to adjust the side electrode of the spark plug. Generally, do not move the middle electrode of the spark plug to avoid damaging the insulator of the spark plug.

4. Abnormal working condition of the spark plug will cause the engine power to decrease, fuel consumption to increase, and it will not work normally. Spark plug carbon deposits are the main reason for spark plug abnormal working condition. Therefore, regular cleaning of spark plugs is very helpful in improving the economy and power of the engine. Spark plug cleaning is simple and can be done by yourself.
