well try 0.7mm and if it runs ok with no misfire then there should be no need to worry.

0.8mm as standard. That's how mine are run on 25psi. Might be worth changing the heat range of the plugs though.

cheers
What plugs do you run?
Will set at 0.8mm I reckon
Running these NGK's (were only 12 quid) Put them in, as thats what come out... SCS rebuild, He supplied plugs
Hope they are OK, just seem cheap.. and cheap is not always good

Mine are Champion C57 C's I think. Would have to check with Rob though as I can't 100% be sure.
