Ray, I don't have a manual. I'm only guessing If it is points type ignition, then .035 would be close. It it is electronic ignition the .045 would be closer. Good Luck.

Funny thing about spark plug gap...I checked the gap on cars, boats and motorcycles and never, I mean never did I encounter a plug that needed to be gapped. I'll probably catch some flack for this, but just get the proper plugs for the motor. You will be good to go.

yes, after removal of the old plugs last night, i realized just that...wonder if the auto parts store will refund for the $2.99 gapping tool? haha...was kinda ashamed to even come back this morning to post the news, and i see that someone beat me to it... )
