Have a look here...<br /> http://www.discount-marine-parts.com/ob_sears.html <br /><br />Good history, but doesn't answer your question. .020" seems to be fairly universal with small air-cooled motors. Call it an educated guess.

Good guess - point gap is in fact .020 for a Tecumseh 643-35 which is the powerhead for for your outboard.
