Chris, I have never made an adjustment to the stock 13B spark plugs in 10 years of flying - as you noticed, it would be difficult to do in any case. If all else is in readiness, then you are ready to make a first start.
Good Luck, I hope it fires off on the first turn of the blade.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Spark plugs ?
I am getting perilously close to first start attempts and must show my
ignorance as to if/how/what kind of adjustments are made to the spark plugs?
Most my engine work is on my 'ol '65 Mustang ragtop's 289 V-8. I understand
how to adjust the gap for that application, but looking at the rotary's
plugs no such adjustment seems possible. What am I missing?
I added coolant (adjusted/tightened some loose bolts/nuts stopping a small
leak), filled the oil, cranked the engine to get the oil flowing through the
system with success and should be securing the fuel lines tonight. I have
been cranking the engine sans plugs to not stress the starter more than
necessary but am now ready to install the plugs so this is now relevant and
needed information. Thanks.
All the best,
Chris
