Spark Plug Gap?

[teaviswalker]

i have a two stoke engine from china and i was wondering what the spark plug gap should be?

.017-.020"

Some will suggest larger gaps, but a tighter gap will aid starting. You could experiment with larger gaps in the future.

what is the gap when you first buy it?

No way to answer that one. It might be anything. Setting the gap is the responsibility of the builder.

DUDE, It comes out of china, It could be ANYTHING. So just check every plug, every time.
Darn, A new question. And I thought this thread was dead.

You can pick up a gapping tool at any auto parts store. They usually have them by the cash register. Real cheap too.

I'm glad I found out about these tools when I did. I had been using my teeth to set the gap. I was running out.

LOL Racer man. I almost fell on the floor laughing. Mainly because I can't bite into an apple anymore from the same thing.
