J6RCCS 6hp 1988 won’t start, which plug I should use? What’s the right Procedure to start it?

[Knotstrait]

the previous owner had the L87Y, I bought a new pair LCcJC4, what’s the right Gaps for it? It’s was about 0.20 ish, I read some articles says should be 0.30-0.40, would this be the reason I couldn’t start it?
I posted a while ago, had questions regarding the oil mix ratio, and my motor started on 2nd pull after I clean the carb, run really smooth in the bucket, after I took it to marine, it wouldn’t start. the pressure is 98 on both cylinders, I check the spark plugs it was really wet, so I think might be the plugs has to be addressed, can some one help? I got the replacement for the pull knob for the prime, let me know what’s the correct procedure to start it!
Thank you

Penny

You purchased the correct plugs, gap them to .30

Early '88 models had a slow speed mixture needle on top of the carb (top front). If yours has the needle, set it to 1 1/2 turns from lightly closed (clockwise). See if it starts and runs.

Did you ever fix your primer knob and test that it's pumping fuel?

Yes, I got the knob and installed i, I don’t know if it pumped fuel, but I took out the brand new plugs after I pull so many times, it has the fuel on the tip of plugs, and the water bucket has a lot of oil/fuel in it.

too rich. That's a function of the air/fuel mix.

Wha is that mean, I mixed too much oil?

Answers needed.-----Does spark jump a gap of 3/8" on a testing device ?----Testing device can easily be made at home.-----Are you familiar with how the manual primer on the motor works ?----Does that primer pump fuel into the motor?----Perhaps test the primer valve.
