The easiest way is to loosen the coils two bolts, slide it back and place a business card (feeler gauge takes to much time), in between the coil and the flywheel. Turn the flywheel until the magnets pull the coil in against the flywheel. Tighten the flywheel nuts and remove your business card.

How to adjust the height of the mower

If you mower does not have adjusters on the wheels then there should be three holes where the wheels are bolted onto the base. to adjust these you have to take each wheel off and bolt them in the same hole for each wheel. The top holes are the lowest the mower can be set the middle ones bring it up part way and the bottom hole is the highest setting. You should set the mower to cut at least two and a half inches above the ground. The center holes should be good.

I have a 14.5 hp murray riding mower i tightend the valves and now mower wont start

Steven, I think you have diagnosed your own problem. Check the specs you used to set the valve clearance. If you don't have any specs, set them both to .020" and it should run fine. Be sure that you set both valves just about 15-30 degrees before TDC on the compression cycle. (both valves closed)
