I changed my spark plugs. I set them at. 045 instead of. 050. It's missing bad.
So can I purchase more spark plugs and set the at. 050? it's been like 2 weeks since I changed them.

Good morning,

Did you have the misfire prior to the plug replacement?

Yes, you can change them again and you must follow the spec. Do not vary away from the spec.
