Typical old Briggs flathead "L-Head" engines require about a .030" plug gap.

SOURCE: I am replacing the spark

I'm guessing you have a standard Champion J19LM plug, which has a gap of .030. They come pre-gapped from the mfg. and usually no need to adjust them. Most of the plugs on these engines have a .030 gap. There are very few exceptions that use a .020 gap (such as the RC12YC). Anyway, here's a link to a chart I like to use for reference: (there's a drop down menu at the top to change engines, but the standard Briggs engine is the one here).

I recently replaced the spark plugs on my 2001 toyota tacoma and now the engine idles high. no vacuum leaks, and nothing else was adjusted. could it be the spark plug gap?

NO ENGINE TOLD AT ALL OR VIN OR COUNTRY.
3 ENGINES USED. 2.4, 2.7 AND 3.4v6

FIRST OFF LEARN THIS FACT
THE MACHINES AT NGK SET ALL PLUGS TO
0.045" NEVER TO 0.45 ( i CAN THROW A HAT THROUGH THAT CRAZY WIDE GAP)
SURE YOU MISSED A KEY ZERO.
SURE.
AND EACH MAKER PLUG USES THERE OWN DEFAULT STANDARD MACHINE GAP . (FACTORY)
NOBODY MAKES A SPARK PLUG FRONT 100,000 ENGINES. NOBODY. THEY ARE BY HEAT RANGE AND SIZE.
THAT MEANS SET THE GAP TO OEM TOY SPEC.
NGK CATALOG ONLINE EVEN TELLS THAT SPEC.

IDLES HIGH COLD OR HOT ENGINE OR BOTH
NOT TOLD AND IS A KEY FACT NOT TOLD.
THE SPEC IS
IN THE SM

Adjust the spark plug electrode gap. Electrode gap for new spark plug is 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.).
BEST IS 1MM SET, AND THAT LOWER SETTING
ALLOWS THE GAP TO WIDEN IT IT AGES AND RUN LONGER AND BETTER.

NO PLUGS TOLD
THE OEM TYPE CALLED J PLUGS ARE SET PER ABOVE
BUT SOME ODD DUCK BOSCH SURFACE FIRE
ARE FACTORY SET (BOSCH) AT 0.063 AND NOT ADJUSTABLE AT ALL
SO AS YOU LEARNED SPARK IS COMPLEX./
FOR SURE RUNNING ANY KIND OF ODD PLUGS.
SOLD NOW.

ID RUN

NGK 7090 G-Power; Pre-Set Gap: 0.040" Info
OE-Recommended Gap: 0.044"

What is the spark plug gap for Briggs 20.5 hp

For a proper answer more info is needed. Here's a Briggs site that has spark plug gaps listed. Gap is not hyper critical for running.
.030-.045 will work. The only time I've seen gap matter was when it was too close like .005, the engine wouldn't run.
