I had a Generac 8kw standby generator installed in Spring and had the first service yesterday.
The serviceman told me he had changed the gap to 0.02" from the 0.03" set at the factory because they have hundreds of installations and find that the smaller gap starts better locally.
I sent Generac a email about it, but their only reply was that doing anything contrary to their recommendations might void the warranty. Thanks...
I don't know anything about engines; does what the serviceman say make any sense?
I am already on my second company. The one that installed it doesn't see any reason to change from the factory supplied 30 oil to 5w-30 before winter. I know that is wrong.
