560SL spark plug gap
Just picked up some NGK plugs to install. The manual calls for a gap of 0.032 inches. Is this what you guys use? I know there is a camp that contends that a larger gap, like around 0.038 or so is better because it gives a stronger spark and more complete combustion. I use a larger gap on my ponton with no problems, but am not that familiar with this engine.

I run 42 on all my and my customers 116/117's... It helps improve the idle..more complete combustion down low.
