9.9 Yammy 4stroke questions

[Scoot]

I've got a 96 Yammy 4-stroke kicker motor that I'm struggling with. Couple questions for you fellas:
1) what should the plugs be gapped at for this motor?
2) what oil would you recommend for it?
3) apparently there's gas in the oil. I'm changing the oil, but can I get away with not replacing the oil filter? It basically hasn't been run since it was changed last so the filter is brand new. But, does the oil drain out of the filter or will gassy oil sit in the filter and I'll still have the same problem if I don't change the filter? What filter do I need for this motor?
Thanks!!!

Call the shop that you bought it from. Did you try the yamaha web site? What size and year is it?
