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.
