A. The ideal gap on the spark plug of the machine should be .060″ (1.5 mm). This is a wider gap than what is used on conventional piston type engines and is necessary to enable a “HOTTER SPARK” for quick starting. The spark plug is only used to start the engine. After starting the engine, the heat from the engine is used to ignite the gasoline/air mixture causing the explosions necessary to maintain the combustion cycle.
