What kind of spark plug does a lawn mower take?
Most automobile engines use spark plugs with a thread size of about 14mm, whereas most lawn mower engines use spark plugs with a thread size of about 10 to 12mm. Because the size specifications are different, the two spark plug types can’t be interchanged. They won’t fit in the same unit.

What gap should my spark plugs be?
For most racing applications, you usually want the plug gap to be between 0.020 and 0.040 of an inch. Most engine builders seem to settle around 0.035 of an inch. Factors such as the type of ignition you run, cylinder heads, fuel and even timing can affect how much gap will work best for you.
Does spark plug gap have to be exact?
The gap between the center and side electrodes of a spark plug must be an exact distance; otherwise, your plugs don’t fire efficiently. Adjusting the distance between the two electrodes is called gapping your spark plugs. You need a feeler gauge to gap your spark plugs properly.
