This may be another one of those dumb questions, but how does one reduce the gap of a spark plug? I have one of those round spark plug gappers and if my gap is to little, I use that little hole in it to bend out the electrode to the desired gap.
My question is for when the current gap is too large. Do you guys just press down on the electrode, do you put the gapper in between the electodes at the desired setting and press it until it touches or do you use a tapping technique. Is the plug held exactly perpendicular or do you try to bend the rounding part of the electode to reduce this gap.
I find the electrodes quite rigid and I am not sure the best way to reduce the gap when needed.
