This is correct. Source: manual for same motor. Gap: .030". You can also use a QL77J4 if desired.

Thank you for the info. The plugs are very worn and need replaced. What are the differances between the plugs if any?

All I can find online is a L77JC4 and QL77JC4. Are these the same plugs just updated numbers?

Glad you asked question. Correct gap is .040" [ I was thinking of another motor]. OMC recommends either plug. Your numbers are the new Champion number for these plugs.
