Title: Plug Gap
Post by: Chris W on January 08, 2009, 11:30:01 AM

I am reinstalling my engine after re-jetting and wondering where I should start with plug gap. It was at .032 before changing the jets.

Thanks

Is that supposed to be 0.032" (inch)?

IIRC, if you are running a stock ignition system, the recommended gap is 0.028". So, 0.004" (four thou.) is not going to matter. If you are running a capacitive discharge system, like MSD or other brand, you should be able to set the gap larger. Check the instructions of your CDI unit.

Added the .0  :)

It's a stock set up.
