as you use the sparkplugs the electric points on them wear down. every time it sparks it takes .ooo1" off of them. so that is why you must change them every three years. there is no way to clean them. unless you just put them in and they are carbonnated. then you can use starter fluid and spray a little in them and then light it on fire.

What if your o troy-bilt 6.75 HP engine push lawn mower will not start?

Start by checking your spark if you don't have spark check the spark plug. If the spark plug is ok then check your flywheel - It may have rust on it. Clean it up and clean up your coil and see if you have spark. If you still don't have spark change your coil. If it has spark and no fuel - clean your carb.

Why do Spark plugs burn out?

Spark plugs don't really burn out, they foul out. A spark plug is used to ignite the fuel/air mixture squirted into the cylinder by the fuel injector. The plug sends a spark and boom small explosion. However gasoline is not 100% clean, so it leaves carbon deposits on the plug. Over time these deposits foul the plug.

No. Get a new plug. ================== Yes to above but if you can't then wash the plug in petrol (gas) - (be careful when doing this as there is a danger of fire). Then use fine sand paper to clean up the electrodes and a feeler gauge to reset the spark gap.


How do you change the ignition coil in 2005 Lincoln LS?

There's a separate coil for every cylinder, and they are located right on top of each spark plug. You have to remove the access covers over the coils (one for the left bank, another for the right), disconnect the wiring from the coil, and pull the coil off the spark plug. When replacing the coil, use air and a rag to clean dirt and deposits on and around the spark plug, and apply special grease to the spark plug boot before inserting over the spark plug (this seals the moisture out of the spark plug connection). Then clean or replace the gaskets on the 2 coil bank covers before re-installing them.
