Default Evinrude Lark III spark plug gap

I have just gotten a hold of what i believe is a 1961 Evinrude Lark III (model#$ 35526 / serial # 04433 / im not completely sure of this though)....anyway, while attempting to ressurect the engine, i have come across a few problems and have been able to find most of the answers.....the one thing I haven't found is what the correct reccomended plugs are and what they should be gapped to. If anyone can help me out on this one it would be much appreciated.

Also if anyone has any suggestions on some other sites that may have some more relevant info that would be nice....didnt get an owners manual with the engine and cant afford to buy one right now!

35525 would be a 1961 40 hp.

Use Champion J4C gapped to .030

There are many experts on this vintage outboard on this forum that are always eager to help.

Welcome to iboats.

I have that same engine that I bought off craigs list for 40 bucks. It has been sitting for years but it does have compression and is getting spark so I know it will run when i get around to messing with it. Right now I am getting my boat ready and I have a couple other good running motors so I do not have time to get it running. However when I do this is the place as these guys know it all.
