Spark plug gap - Onan 5000

I've replaced the sparkplugs, filters, etc on my genny. It is hard to start and diesels somewhat when shut down. When I spoke with Onan they stated the plugs come pre gapped at .035 however I've read somewhere that the proper gap is .025. Well which is it?

.025 on mine too, but to get them there they seem close.
