What is the normal gap size for spark plugs?
1 Answers
Generally, the normal gap for spark plugs ranges between 0.3 to 1.6mm. A larger spark plug gap produces a longer arc during ignition, making it easier to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Hazards of excessive spark plug gap: 1. Poor ignition, requiring higher pulse ignition voltage; 2. Engine stalling may occur during operation; 3. Incomplete fuel combustion due to poor ignition, leading to increased fuel consumption. Hazards of insufficient spark plug gap: 1. Difficulty starting or failure to start; 2. Increased noise and heavy exhaust emissions; 3. Incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
