Always use high heat anti seize on sparkplugs. The stuff I use is the copper not the standard nickel stuff. The nickel will work I just have had better luck on spark plugs with copper in my race trucks.

I seem to remember .025 gap is what is suggested factory on most scooters. I wanna say I run my buggy at .028 but mine is bored and cammed.
110 jet sounds closer to home. I wanna say I only run a 115 on my machine. On mine I also find depends on the temp outside I have to retune, I call it swapping between a summer and winter jet. I also run a 28mm carb where I really should be with a 26mm so mine is on the ragged edge of tuning and can be pretty picky.
