Acuspark plug gaps

[Peter +2]

Hello all

I believe I read somewhere that the spark plug gaps should be increased if you are running electronic ignition, to between 0.03 to 0.035

I am running Accuspark ignition and coil and would appreciate your thoughts as what I should set the gap to?

Many thanks

Some electronic ignition systems and coils are capable of generating higher plug voltages and will work with larger spark gaps. Whether there is any benefit in having a larger spark gap and longer spark as a result is not so clear. The other issue is whether high voltage components like the dizzy cap and rotor can handle the higher voltage without arcing over to earth needs to be considered.

Personally I would leave the plug gaps standard.

Good point, I will leave as is.

Many thanks.
