Thanks for the info. BTW this is not my motor. Just trying to help a friend get back out on the water where we all should be instead of typing in a forum. Anyway thanks again.

The gap is in the plug number BP8H-N-10

The '10' is the gap in 1/10th of a millimetre... so a -10 is 1.0mm, a -15 is 1.5mm.

1 millimetre is 39.4 thou.
