What is the spark plug and gap on a hand held product? Most of our handheld engine spark plugs should be gapped at either: A) For 28-32 cc engines, set the gap at 0.020″ (0.5 mm). B) For 38-55 cc engines, set the gap at 0.025″ (0.635 mm).
These plugs are pre-gapped at . 044″.
What is the correct spark plug gap for my STIHL trimmer, chainsaw or blower? The correct gap setting is 0.020″.
For most racing applications, you usually want the plug gap to be between 0.020 and 0.040 of an inch. Most engine builders seem to settle around 0.035 of an inch. Factors such as the type of ignition you run, cylinder heads, fuel and even timing can affect how much gap will work best for you.
What are the conventional spark plug gap settings? The conventional gap settings are as follows: Racing Plugs 0.016″ 0.4mm. Coil (Standard) 0.025″ 0.6mm.
The larger the gap, the more voltage is needed to jump the gap. Most experienced tuners know that increasing the gap size increases the spark area exposed to the air-fuel mixture, which maximizes burn efficiency.
As a general rule, you should change the spark plug approximately every 100 hours. This may vary across brands and specific models. Check your Owner`s Manual for specific information on how often to change the spark plug and the proper gap setting. Check the grease/oil in the cutting head gearbox often.
