I admit, I don't really pay attention to the spec....
My bad.
It came to my attention inadvertently yesterday while out in my boat, an outboard, 2 stroke.
It runs great at first, but after starting and stopping numerous times to set and retrieve my crab traps, her performance started to deteriorate.
Die under idling or slow throttle, hard to restart, slow outta the hole.
I figgered it was in the fuel system, because when running she hums.
I looked up the spec and the plugs are suppose to be gapped at 0.9.
Mine where more like a 0.2 or 0.3.
I am guessing here this will lead to a weak burn, right, causing fouling and carbon build up?
I did the same install right out of the box on my savage too.
Now I notice what I think is too much black soot on the tailpipe opening.
I need to gap it I bet, right?
To what size?
Thanks
PS: please don't ask me if I'm an idiot. Asking such would only prove I'm not alone
