.015 for the mag and .020 for the points is what I would try first. The model and serial numbers may be on the housing of the recoil, or on the cover for the fly wheel.

Where would be a good place to start for a gap between the magneto and the fly wheel. Or does it run the gammit from engine to engine. Also if I need to dig further, what should the points be gapped at? I have not had the fly wheel off of this engine so as far as I know maybe they have done away with points by the time this engine was built. I have no idea how old the engine is and it is not the origanl engine so if I nne to find numbers where would the most commen places be to look? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
