How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

The gap setting is different for each vehicle but most are somewhere between 0.028″ and . 060″. Consult the owner`s manual or Champion ® catalog to find the recommended setting for the vehicle you`re working on.
A) For 28-32 cc engines, set the gap at 0.020″ (0.5 mm). B) For 38-55 cc engines, set the gap at 0.025″ (0.635 mm). IMPORTANT!: Always refer to the appropriate product Operator`s Manual for exact specifications and additional model specific service information when replacing spark plugs.
These plugs are pre-gapped at . 044″.
However, if the spark plug gap is too large, the spark is unlikely to consistently “jump” across the long distance between electrodes, thus leading to a rough-running engine or one that doesn`t run at all.
A smaller gap ensures the spark plug fires on each cycle. But if the spark gap is too small, there won`t be enough room for the airfuel mixture between the ground electrode and center electrode. So when the spark plug fires, there`s a possibility that nothing ignites.
Spark plugs aren`t universal; you have to make sure that you buy one that fits your mower. You can consult your owners` manual to determine the types your lawn mower can use or take a look at the plug`s ceramic insulator, which usually has the number printed on it.
Is Dielectric Grease Necessary for Spark Plugs? Strictly speaking, dielectric grease is not necessary for spark plugs to function; however, as noted above, it is a cheap, easy-to-use material that helps ensure the current moves through the spark plug into the ignition system.
Every time a spark plug creates an arc of electricity, it very minimally shortens the electrodes. Over time, the gap between the electrodes grows larger. As this gap increases, more electricity is needed to spark ignition of the air/fuel mixture.

Using the wrong spark plug can result in incomplete combustion, misfires, and poor engine performance.
The distance between the tip of the spark plug and the central electrode is called the “spark plug gap” and is a key factor in the function of a spark plug. Spark plug gaps for car engines are typically 0.6 to 1.8 mm (0.024 to 0.071 in).
A smaller gap will yield a short, intense spark and will usually make the engine real responsive. A wide gap creates a longer spark arc but without sufficient “juice” from your ignition system, (including amps), it can be weak and yellow in color.
Changing the spark plug gap won`t affect the ignition timing, but it will have some affects on the ability of the spark plug to ignite the fuel.
