ABSTRACT:
Carbon fouling adhered on an insulator tip of a spark plug of the present invention is burnt down by a leak current during an inductive discharge period, due to a promoted ionization before beginning a capacitive discharge, in such an arrangement of a central electrode that a border portion of a body and narrowed portion is positioned in an insulator. The carbon burning-down effect is further improved by a narrow projection provided with an earth electrode, due to increased inductive energy and extended inductive discharge time period. This is because an electric field in a discharge gap is raised, thereby decreasing a discharge voltage and suppressing an energy emitted from a coil during the capacitive discharge.
