The gap between the flywheel and the magneto on a Mantis tiller is typically around 0.010 to 0.012 inches (0.25 to 0.30 mm). This gap is crucial for ensuring proper ignition timing and preventing interference between the flywheel and the magneto. Always refer to the specific owner’s manual for your model for precise specifications and adjustments. Regular maintenance checks can help ensure optimal performance and longevity of the tiller.
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.
0.024 - 0.028"
Most of the Briggs engines can be gapped simply with a business card between the flywheel and the magneto.
Yes, on the crankshaft there should be a "slot" called a keyway, and a matching slot on the flywheel, mate a key in the slot of the flywheel and crankshaft, and then your flywheel should be timed, also on a magneto ignition system, makesure the magneto has the proper gap, called "armature air gap" usualy if you put a buossness card in there is a good starting point
Most people use a standard business card between the magnetto and flywheel.
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.
To set the gap on a Poulan chainsaw's magneto, you typically want to adjust it to around 0.020 inches (or 0.5 mm) using a feeler gauge. This ensures proper ignition and engine performance. To adjust, loosen the mounting screws, place the feeler gauge between the magneto and the flywheel, then re-tighten the screws once the gap is set. Always refer to your specific chainsaw model's manual for the exact specifications.
The Magneto gap for a 3.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine refers to the space between the magneto armature and the flywheel's magnet. This gap is crucial for proper ignition; if it's too wide or too narrow, it can lead to weak or inconsistent spark. Generally, the recommended gap is around 0.010 to 0.012 inches, but it's best to consult the specific engine manual for precise specifications. Properly setting this gap ensures optimal engine performance and reliability.
That would be 0.010" but a business card will suffice as as a substitute, as a matchbook could, also.
0.010"
I believe its .020 with a magneto.
the correct gap is .30
