Re: Briggs 14 Hp Motor Want Fire

It would be best if you use plain ol writing paper for adjusting the mag clearance. It's close to .010 " which is what it Should be ! Matchbook covers are good for the points on a VW bug,which is .030". A close adjustment will result in a hotter spark. Cut a strip of the paper about an inch wide and long enough to cover the mag. I bring the magnets on the flywheel around til it's over the mag,holding the paper tight. Now,do the 'tighten up',like James Brown, turn the flywheel and the paper falls out.
