Deine Fragen / Unsere Antworte
- What happens if I install a spark plug with the wrong heat range?
- A plug that is too cold will foul quickly, and one that is too hot can lead to pre-ignition and damage the engine. Always use the heat range specified by the manufacturer.
- How often should I change the spark plugs in my outboard motor?
- That depends on the engine type and intensity of use. As a rule of thumb: Check the plugs annually during seasonal maintenance and replace them if there is visible wear or after the operating hours specified by the manufacturer.
- Can I use car spark plugs in my boat engine if the type designation matches?
- The type designation alone is not enough. Boat engines have different thermal requirements than car engines. Only use plugs that are explicitly approved for your engine type.
- What spark gap do I need to set during installation?
- You can find the correct gap in your engine's owner's manual or service booklet. Even new plugs can deviate slightly from the target value ex-works – therefore, always measure before installation and adjust if necessary.
