The gap on a Tecumseh 9hp magneto is typically set between 0.010 to 0.020 inches. This gap ensures proper spark generation for efficient engine performance. Always refer to the specific engine model's manual for the exact specifications, as they may vary slightly. Proper adjustment of the gap is crucial for optimal ignition and engine operation.
To check the magneto on a Tecumseh 5 HP engine, first ensure the engine is off, then remove the spark plug and inspect the magneto for cracks or damage. Use a multimeter to test for continuity; if there's no continuity, the magneto may need replacement. For timing, rotate the engine to the point where the piston is at the top of its stroke (top dead center), then check the magneto's points gap and ensure they open at the correct time relative to TDC, usually around 1/4 inch before the piston reaches TDC for ignition. Adjust the timing if necessary by loosening the magneto and repositioning it.
Tecumseh website, "All spark plugs air gap is .030."
0.010"
The magneto air gap is a precision measurement that's taken between the edge of the flywheel and the ignition coil armature. The flywheel and the crankshaft are held together in alignment by the flywheel key.
The plug gap for a 5.5 hp Tecumseh is .030 in.
Tecumseh provides dealers with a 0.012" air gap guage, but 0.010 - 0.014" will do.
I believe its .020 with a magneto.
Most of the Briggs engines can be gapped simply with a business card between the flywheel and the magneto.
The magneto point gap on a 2hp Yamaha outboard is 0.35mm, or 0.014".

The magneto gap on a 97cc Baja engine, typically found in Baja Motorsports vehicles, refers to the distance between the magneto (or flywheel) and the ignition coil. This gap is crucial for proper ignition timing and engine performance. Generally, the recommended gap is around 0.010 to 0.030 inches, but it's best to consult the specific owner's manual or service guide for precise specifications. Adjusting this gap can help ensure optimal spark generation and efficiency.
