Don't know the Mac.<br /><br />FDE-11 is a 1957 18HP Johnny. It uses Champion J4C plugs.<br /><br />There was no IN-26. A TN-26 is a 1950 5HP Johnny. It uses Champion J6C plugs.<br /><br />All plugs gap at .030", points at .020".<br /><br />Both engines use a 24:1 fuel mix.<br /><br />Good luck.

Thanks JB<br /><br />The IN 26 looks slightly different than my TN 27 can parts be interchanged? What is the lever on the port side on top of the tank.<br />By the way JB just want you to know how valued your specification info is. I have a collection of it (spark plug gap etc. etc. putting boats away for the winter etc.) on the walls of my garage. I have only been collecting motors for 3-4 months it would have taken forever to track down this sort of thing without a forum.

You can't beat JB'S help when it comes to boats.<br />He knows about all of them old and new.<br />Just look at His post count. Tim

Hi Roboat,<br /> The "IN 26" is a TN 26. There was no IN-series of motors. And yes, most parts from the TN 26 will interchange with the TN 27...<br />- Scott
