Magneto spacing specs for a tecumseh lawn mower?

Question

We replaced the flywheel key yesterday and we bumped the magneto, and i have looked everywhere and i have not found out the space that should be between the magneto and the flywheel. Could anyone tell me the space or give me a link, thanks

Answer 1

.003 to .008 inches.  The gap is not critical so long as there is a gap.  Use a match book cover as a gauge.  Just make sure when you turn the flywheel there is a gap all the way around.
