* Safety Concerns: Providing incorrect air gap information could lead to engine damage or safety hazards.
To find the correct air gap for your engine:
1. Consult your engine's manual: The manual will have the most accurate information about the air gap and other maintenance procedures.
2. Contact Briggs & Stratton: You can contact Briggs & Stratton directly through their website or customer service line. They will be able to provide the correct information for your specific engine model.
General Information about Air Gaps:
* The air gap is the space between the coil's ignition points (if applicable) and the magnet on the engine's flywheel.
* The air gap plays a crucial role in the ignition system. It affects the spark intensity and timing.
* A too-small air gap can result in weak spark and misfires. A too-large air gap can lead to difficulties starting and poor performance.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommended air gap specifications for your specific engine.
