Hey all, been a while.
I finally got my ignition system back together. What would the gap for the points and plugs be?

Merry Christmas!

.030 is pretty much standard on the plugs for the oldies. Later model motors will go up to .040

Freddyray's right.

From the original Operator's Manual:

Points .020"
Plugs .025"

Champion J6J gapped to 030, especially since it is likely a trolling motor?
