<br /><br />As a Honda mechanic in the 60's I recomend setting the spark plug gap for all Hondas with points, as recomended by our Honda rep back then, to 0.018&quot;<br /><br />Here's a story to show the difference in setting the plugs to 0.018&quot; versus &quot;by the book&quot;. A guy had is relatively new CB-450 tuned at a Honda shop, however the only way he could start it was to push it around 10 mph. It would not start with the electric starter or the kick starter. I gaped the plugs at 0.018&quot;, then tapped the starter button and it cranked up immediately. I've run all size Hondas with this gap and have had no loss of power or problems.
