It is far more cost effective to replace a plug than clean and reuse .
just do the exercise of 15 minute workshop labour against a new plug .When cleaning a spark plug care should be taken NOT to use a wire brush .the high speed wire brush will leave steel particle traces embedded on the creamic surface that could cause the spark totrack to ground moisture and dirt can do thesame thing.
Contractors should have an inventory of spare parts at home or on board and have a reorder point for each item if u need help ring dean at indy mowing :aus-flag:

Another tip to cleaning spark plugs is to spray them with oven cleaner and let them sit for 12-24 hours... then they should be nice and clean when you wash them off in a bit of petrol...

Setting the gap use an old hack saw blade to slide between the 2 contact points the thickness is the correct mm as a feeler guage.
An old bushmans trick. :wave-hi:
