Changed to the above plugs as directed and was told to not touch the gaps as out of the box, (and yes I never checked them).
Removed the old and very worn GMH plugs and noticed all had a very large gap and when measured it was just about 1.5 mm +/-.01 - .02.
Problem is now when cold it will not rev enging if throttle is blipped open until it's warm, then it goes like a rocket with no problems at all.
On the first start it starts up first turn no problems at all but it will only take gentle throttle opening or it gasps for fuel until it's warm in neutral, but once it either warms up or is simply driven away it seems fine.
Should I remove the plugs and gap them, just by looking the new ones were no where near 1.5 mm but not bothering to check I can't say what they are.
The stock VS screams along when warm, (just a few minutes), and has much more power with the new plugs but the old ones took quick throttle immediately when started up cold but had less power when warm.
Was I just too lazy or did I take the wrong advice to not touch the gaps.
