Hi,<br />Now I've solved my 80hp motor, I thought I would give my 1967 Kiekhaefer 6hp twin No.2128126 a tune up.<br /><br />Can anyone tell what the following things are ??<br /><br />1) Plug gaps.<br />2) Point gaps. (if any)<br />3) Ignition timing.<br />4) Tick over RPM.<br />5) Should the mixture adjustment be carried out in gear as the big motor or in neutral.??<br /><br />Thanks

Some of may now this motor as a Model 60.<br /><br />I think the plug gaps should be at 0.04" and the plugs NGK BP8H-N-10 also the tickover in gear should be 650 rpm.<br /><br />Can anyone confirm this please.
