Somewhere I read the proper gap for new plugs, but I can't find it now. And when i searched for "spark plug gap" on the GuestLog it didn't show up either. What is the proper gap for new plugs on an early model, and what difference does that distance do/make on the firing? What happens if it's too close or too far a gap? I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I know nothing about engines...at least I didn't until I decided to keep (against the grain of many others in my marina) the A4 in my boat, and read every post in this forum and the guest log, and FAQs. She hasn't run in many years, but I'm headed down to sweet talk her this weekend. Figured I'd start with- Clean gas and oil, new plugs and wires, compression check(and a couple squirts of Marvel while plugs are out.), fuel flow check, clip on a remote starter CLOSE THE THROUGH-HULL, and proceed with- "Checklist for a Troublefree Spring Startup:" in this forum and "21.Precautions when starting up an engine that has been idle" in the FAQ's. Sound reasonable? Any help is a HUGE help.
