Missing can result. robbing you of power and economy. Filing the electrodes so their edges are sharp again and adjusting the gap to correct spacing with parallel surfaces restores performance. -With sparking action occurting as often as 300 times per minute under extreme heat of combustion, the best electrodes will eventually erode beyond a point where they can be corrected by servicing.
