A damaged insulator could allow external sparks, which could lead to explosion or fire. The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate something about the condition of the engine. For example, if the center electrode porcelain is very white, this could indicate an intake air leak or carburetion problem in that cylinder. Do not attempt to diagnose any problems yourself. Instead, take the outboard motor to a Yamaha dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because heat and deposits will cause the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace the spark plug with another of the correct type. Standard spark plug: Refer to "SPECIFICATIONS", page 4-1. Before fitting the spark plug, measure the electrode gap with a wire thickness gauge; adjust the gap to specification if necessary. [. . . ] If a question or problem arises regarding warranty, first contact the owner of the dealership.
