I recently bought a new 1403 carb and want to make sure everythings adjusted right for my engine. However, my sparklers are fairly new and being the cheapskate I am, I want to clean them and put them back in to gauge if I'm running rich or lean. Is there any way to effectively clean a spark plug in order to do this or do I have to buy brand new ones?
