Methanol will last a long time as long as its in a sealed container, just to keep the moisture out and to keep the methanol from evaporating.

Never ran a 7al-2, with a mag we use .014-.018 gap, i would think you'd be fine just taking .010 gap out of what you would normaly run in a gas motor.

I was still running .035 gap after switching to alcohol, and only running a 6al.
