Servicing Spark plugs The electrodes on a spark plug must be clean and sharp to produce the powerful spark required for ignition. The more worn or dirty a spark plug, the more voltage—and the greater the tug on the rewind—required to produce an adequate spark. If you haven’t tuned your engine recently and have to yank repeatedly on the rewind to start the engine, a damaged spark plug may be the culprit. Inconsistent firing, known as spark “miss,” can result in sluggish engine operation and poor acceleration.
The absence of a visible spark indicates a problem in the ignition system. checking for spark miss A spark plug that is fouled or improperly gapped may not allow sparks to jump the gap between electrodes consistently. The spark plug will fire erratically or may occasionally fail to spark. Test for this problem—known as spark “miss”—if your engine stumbles, with a noticeable decrease in engine sound. Spark miss can also cause the engine to emit black smoke or a popping sound, as unburned fuel exits with the exhaust and ignites inside the muffler.

Balance the blade (through the center hole) on the nail. If there’s a heavy end, file that side’s blade surface a bit more and aim for good balance.
