    Basic setting for most engines are 15 thousands for points and 30 for plugs.

    Plugs = .030 inch.
    Point Gap = .015 inch. Frequently, the cover plate can be removed and used as a feeler gauge for the points.

    Google your Onan generator's model number for more information.
    I remember carrying a match book: the cover was just about .015 and the striker could be used to burnish the contacts, too. (wow... that's been a while.. )
