Simple Tricks Overcome Carbon Deposition On Edge Busi

Although it is small, spark plugs have a very vital role for the vehicle's engine.
Busi is not good will cause the vehicle ignition to be disturbed.
Busi itself serves to change the flow of the high voltage coil electrode toward the center and bottom.
After that it will generate a spark between two electrodes and a burning mixture of fuel and compressed air in the fuel chamber.
"The concept is a bit similar to the workings of matches. Spark plugs should also be able to survive in the workplace temperature and high pressure with heavy workloads and corrosive, "explained Mahesa Argha Yudha, Assistant Marketing Manager of PT NGK Busi Indonesia
According Mahesa Argha Yudha, there are some kinds of spark plug condition. Because the combustion process or other causes, deposition of carbon or the crust will be collected at the end of the spark plug, so the voltage just past the crust without producing a spark between two electrodes. As a result, the engine is turned difficult.
"To overcome in order to avoid the buildup of carbon, the vehicle can run at a speed of about 80-90 km / hour for 10-15 minutes, so that the temperature rise and carbon plugs or crust can do the cleaning (self-cleaning)," he added.
NGK suggested should be checked a minimum condition of spark plugs every 10,000 km or 1 year. "But the carbon buildup will not occur on the type NGK Iridium IX spark plugs, because already applied the patented technology NGK named Thermo Edge Design," said Mahesa.
"Usually when you're done checking spark plugs, there is a brownish color on the hexagon in the insulator. This is due to the oil particles or dirt around the spark plug, this condition does not affect the performance of the performance of the spark plug, "he added.
So how to care for and clean the spark plug? He suggested to use a nylon brush to clean the spark plug tip. NGK merrekomendasikan not to use a wire brush, this is to avoid damage to the tip of the spark plug, also avoid the possibility of a small piece of wire on the surface of the electrode.
"NGK is also not recommended to clean the spark plug using liquid chemicals, because they feared it contains elements made of iron," he concluded.
