Can anyone tell me what the proper gap should be, if any, for a 1988 85 HP Force with Champion plugs? This same engine idles at very high speed, is there a way that I can decrease the idle speed or does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks.

These engines run Gapless plugs (Champ #UL18V, Rfi plug is #QL76V).<br />The idle can be adjusted at the cam on the side of the lower carb. Remove the throttle cable, unscrew it a few windings,and re-atach it. The other carbs will track the same,single adjustment.<br />.
