Default RE: DL-55 Starting problems

Just got engine stated and running perfectly, The problem was the spark plug cap has a small spring in it, and it was not close enough to the top of the spark plug so I pulled it out so that it touches the top of the spark plug, also the spark plug gap was to big and I reduced it to about 12 thou, the engine now starts fine and no need for starter motor.
my starting sequence is.
Choke on, full throttle and ignition off, and flip engine 5 times
Ignition on and throttle to idle and it should kick or partly start.
Choke off and a good flip and it's away

Thanyou for all your advice and I will buy two NGK CM-6 plugs this weekend, does anybody know the correct spark plug gap for the DL55
