SPARK PLUG GAP CHANGED
The spark plug gap has been changed from .027″ to .035″. This new setting has been found to give better all-round performance. When an engine does not idle properly, often all that is necessary is to slightly open up the spark plug gaps. When an instance of this kind is brought to your attention, always …
