As John T mentions below, set the plug gap per the ignition mfr's recommendation. Or if you don't have gapping info I'd recommend about 0.045 - 0.050. (Keep in mind that within the ignition's ability to fire the plug, larger gap = better) As for optimum timing for lugging, etc. set it per the owner's manual. I'm not familiar with the 230 but it's probably 0 deg (TDC) at low idle. Then check that the spark advances per spec (probably about 35 deg BTDC) at high idle RPM. Keep in mind IHC engineers arrived at their timing spec after extensive experimentation and analysis! Deviations from factory timing generally cause less power and increased fuel consumption.
