Local rules apply.
Since I just LOVE my generator and don't like dead batteries, I try to keep up.

Dont want to create a debate.

RusticEagle, posted a link to a generic 3rd party website, just because it is on their website does not make it true.

I always try to only trust websites that are matter experts. In this case, the NPS site.

I do agree there can be local specific rules. Not knowing exactly which park, I would only trust the NPS campground regulations page.

Used to be years ago people had common courtesy and common sense when it came to camping in the great outdoors. Sadly, times have changed and not for the better. Just like when someone is camped 15 feet away from your open window and lights a smoky campfire.

I was thing just change the open up gap just a small amount on the spark plug. Looks normal, but will be nearly impossible to start and if it does it wont run well.

yea but a plug wire is hard to get ... it takes time and if you leave again and leave it running maybe the whole thing will disappear.. don't forget to pee..
