My 2003 225hp plugs have to be changed every 50-60hrs. My motor starts on the 1st click of the key till I have about 40-45hrs. on the plugs, then after that 2-3 clicks of the key!!!!

I gap my plugs at .30 and have noticed that when I change them, the gap has exspanded to about .60 gap and that is the cause of the motor taking 3-5 clicks to start!!!!

I'm going to decarb the motor tomorrow using "DEEP CREEP" Sea Foam!!!!
