Buc, your engines should run fine on 65. I have found on mine that there is no "sweet spot" for the high and low speed needles; I need to adjust them a bit if I am running slow or fast. You should be able to get a 1/4" spark. Typical starting point on the needles is 3/8 o a turn on the low speed and 3/4 of a turn on the high speed. Also, the coils and condensers are rarely bad on these motors.
