The spark plug gap for the Cub Cadet SS270 weed trimmer should be set to 0.025 inches (0.64 mm). This is the recommended gap for the original equipment spark plug specified by Cub Cadet for this model. However, it's always best to refer to the owner's manual for your specific model to confirm the correct spark plug gap and other important maintenance information.

The recommended spark plug for the Cub Cadet SS270 weed trimmer is the NGK CMR6A. The spark plug gap for this specific plug is 0.025 inches (0.64 mm), which is the same gap I mentioned earlier. It's always a good idea to double-check the spark plug gap with a feeler gauge before installation to ensure the gap is set correctly.

the spark plug gap for common string trimmer engines ranges from 0.018 to 0.025 inches (0.45 to 0.63 mm).

I would suggest you to try to find the information on the spark plug gap in the owner's manual, stamped on the engine cover, or contact Cub Cadet's customer service for assistance.

Improper spark plug gaps can lead to engine misfires or poor performance, so it's important to use the manufacturer's recommended specifications.

Spark plug gap specifications can vary depending on the specific engine model and year. However, you can typically find the spark plug gap specification in the owner's manual or on a label located on the engine.

If you are unable to locate the owner's manual or the label on your engine, you may want to contact Cub Cadet customer support for assistance. They should be able to provide you with the correct spark plug gap specification for your specific model and year of weed trimmer.
