Easy way to set that is to put a piece of electrical tape over the magnet on the fly wheel and rotate the fly wheel till it is under the magneto and then loosen the magneto bolts till you can slide the magneto up against the tape, Tighten the bolts, rotate the flywheel out of position and remove the tape. Rotate the fly wheel by hand to check for free clearance all the way around.

Blower doesnt step up to full power- have changed engine and carb.fuil line is clear with new filter and adjusted.Machine is 6yrs+-am thinking coil needs replacement or gap is wrong.Whats the air gap 010...

The spark plug should be about 0.025" gap. With a fresh plug, the spark should be blue. If fairly weak looking, remove the cover over the flywheel and reset the ignition coil gap. Turn the flywheel magnets to just under the module, insert a thin business card into the gaps, loosen the module screws and let the module contact the magnets through the card. Tighten the screws, then turn the flywheel somewhat to release the card. Turn the flywheel one complete turn to make sure the gaps don't close further. Recheck for hot spark. Check the air filter and muffler for plugging. Hope this helps!

My 90 geostorm fires when it wants to. have replaced all fuses n replaced coil checked and cleaned cap n roter extreamly frustrated whats up with it?

intermittent spark usually caused by failing ignition module in distributor cap, but first check air gap on pick up coil--should be 0.008-0.016 in. (0.2-0.4 mm). If air gap is good, replace module. If air gap is bad, adjust and see if problem resolves.
