The manual says 12-16 thou, or 0.3-0.4mm for the gap. I had a similar sounding problem recently and chased it down to one coil being set at 21 thou. Engine ran fine with 50-75rpm drop at 4000 but rough and a few hundred drop at 3000 or so and below on one side. Cured by resetting to 14 thou. Starting improved too.

Trigger coil gaps are best set to minimum gap vs maximum gap.

Other thing to try is switch your ignition boxes see if it fallows the box I had that happen to me this summer did a lot of stuff to fix it and the new mags or ignition boxes fixed it
