excessive heat. Flash point of solvent
is 100F.-138F. (38C.-59C.).
c. Cleaning, Inspection and Repair. Clean all parts
in a cleaning solvent. Inspect the spark plug and
electrodes. Inspect the plug for cracked or broken

Inspect the spray nozzle for cracks, burrs, broken
screen, or any other damage and replace if damaged.
Inspect for damaged threads and gaskets. Replace all
damaged hardware and gaskets.
NOTE
When the spark plug and the ground electrode are
installed, the gap between the two should be 3/16
(0.188) to 1/8 (0.125) inch (.4775 -.3175 cm).
