The small JohnnyRudes of that era use Champion J6C plugs gapped at .030" and points set at .020". I suspect the Gale was in the family.

Thanks I read a post that called for .018 on the points and was thinking with all the parts the same as my 5.5 hp the settings should be also. I've got it almost done and will have pics soon.
