Champion J6C at .030" is the listed plug.

It's an extremely common plug used on most early engines.

Depends on which list you look at.

If you troll or idle a lot the J6C at .030" works well, but for more cruising and high speed operation the J4C at .030" works better. I have gotten good results with J4Cs gapped at .040" for trolling.
