0.035 is better than 0.044

There's less chance that the flame kernal will be blown out. Your spark event will be more consistent especially at higher rpms.

I always gap my motor/plugs to .035 but my motor is high compression (12:1).
I thought that gapping a stock motor/plugs lower will make the motor run rich, so
it's not really necessary unless you want to waste gas. Oops. I guess I'm wrong.
Gap at .035.
