plug fell out, precautions prior to installing?
Foxx4Beaver:
the measurements I gave you are RIGHT outa the manual.
umberto:
Spark plug gap can be a deceiving measurement. If the manual states it should be a particular measurement, then I would stick with that. Lots of testing and science-y type stuff goes into determining that gap. :-D
