OP thank you for such a nice thread.
My generator JD4101 is running good on NG,it has been starting on first self so far,today it behaved like,starting on third self and that are also too long ones,NG is also leaking through air filter when generator is not in use.
I have tested the spark plug by removing it from its hose and touch starting it on frame,spark was too low.
What specific plug should i use and with how much gaping?
Any other step i may be missing,please advise.
