.5mm or .020" but many people run them at .025"

All my gas engines Zenoah, Fox, 3W, and DLE are all gapped at .022 by the way, the best sparkplug for the GT-80 is the NGK BPMR7A burning 93octane at 32:1 Stilh oil.

Some years ago, Ralph Cunningham (Mr. Zenoah in my opinion) recommended using NGK BPMR6F plugs in the GT80 and other Zenoah engines. This is the more compact 5/8" hex plug with a taper seat and it works great in these engines. A much more compact plug than the larger stock plugs. Gapped at .025" or so ..... gap really isn't that critical on our engines.
