The gap setting is different for each vehicle but most are somewhere between 0.028″ and . 060″. Consult the owner`s manual or Champion ® catalog to find the recommended setting for the vehicle you`re working on.
The incorrect plug gap for your engine can contribute to a high rate of misfires, loss of power, plug fouling, poor fuel economy and accelerated plug wear. It is always best to check the gap against the manufacturer`s specifications.
The spark plug gap should be set to between 0.028 and 0.030 inches (0.70 to 0.80 mm.)
As a general rule, you should change the spark plug approximately every 100 hours.
