I used to run an .035 gap with no issue, I only changed it for easier starting.

Cool.
Beat that thing like it was a really bad neighborhood stray dog that bit you.
They are cheap disposable engines.

I've run everything from .025 through .060, and I consistently get better results with longer gaps

Big spark is a big plus with a lot of fuel to combust.
I don't mess around with spark, I give it everything I can.
On 2-stroke builds that means ditching that stock wire right from the mag terminals to an inch or two of CDI wire leads, with 16g double insulated black speaker cable, then use an NGK Iridium plug.
Every frigg'n milliamp of magneto current makes it to the CDI and out to the plug so I can see spark at noon in the sun in Phoenix in the summer ;-}
Overkill?
Ya maybe, and it is both a little expensive and time consuming to do, but I don't need to start with ignition on the rare occasion a build comes in for service.
Ya, that was a brag hehe, sorry guys ;-}

Bogging Down At Top End
Hi! Same thing happened to me on my first build. Turned out being the carb was too rich. Instead of messing with the spark plug, raise the e=clip on the needle to it's highest point which will drop down the needle and lean the mix out. I'm surprised all these pros didn't advise you on that.

could be wrong but im pretty sure the e-clip only effects the bottom end of throttle. if its a fuel issue it would be a jet size issue not the e-clip
