:spark: does anyone have a good spec for the spark plug gap on a minarelli ? spec for ordinary and iridum plugs will be nice. i've been told and tried using a 1mm then went back to the factory spec of the plug.

I set mine to .028" which is roughly 0.7mm. Be careful gapping iridium plugs. If you have to open the gap you need to use something that pulls the ground electrode rather than wedging something in to pry it apart or you can damage the iridium tip.

8-)thanks. yeah i figure there is a good spec in between the factory which is too small and the 1mm my buddies have been telling me that is already at the limit (you'll be checking it more often).

Totally off topic, well, ok, on topic but not as intended
I once sent a young apprentice mechanic 5 miles on his push-bike (bicycle) to fetch me a box of "spark plug gaps".

lol I've heard a lot of those. Can of compression and that sorta thing. The one that amazed me was my father told a young guy to run to the hardware store and get "sky hooks". The guy asked what they were and my father told him you throw them up in the sky and they hook up there, then you can use them to hoist things or whatever. He actually went and asked for that. I can understand believing some of the things if you are new to mechanic work, but hooks that you throw up in the air and they magically hook into the sky?
