Richard from expereince, I can tell you in a 2 stroke motor indexing helps
a whole bunch in reading the plugs also..

Dave,
I am surprised to hear you say that indexing did not make a difference. I
had the luck of working with a guy who used to work for Kawasaki when they
were racing snowmobiles and he said that they had found it to make a
difference. Also I had a conversation with Darcy Ewing (snowmobile racer
for AAEN) and he also indicated that I should be indexing my plugs.
What way did you face the open gap ?
Richard

A few years back when I had access to a Land & Sea dyno I tried several
things
on a Kaw engine. Played with timing , fuel, oil pump output,
jetting......
One of the things tried were a few different spark plugs, never could
tell
one bit of difference, not even a hint.. Big gaps, indexing, little gaps
"race" plugs, all lead to nothing. I don't even bother to gap the
things any more, take em out of the box eyeball the end and stick
em in.
Given a good enough dyno in a lab somewhere maybe one of those engineer
types could find a difference, wouldn't bet on being able to measure it
with lap times.
