Use a standard sized business card. Place it between the legs on the ignition module and the flywheel. Loosen the screws on the module. Let the magnets in the flywheel (you can see them) draw the legs in. Your "air-gap" will be set and the setting is about .010". You will now have spark and it may just run!
You have to set an "air-gap" on the ignition module between the legs of it and the magnets in the flywheel. Use a standard size business card as your "feeler gauge." Fold it in two. Place it in between the legs of the module and the flywheel. Turn the flywheel until the magnets line up with the coil legs and let the magnets draw the module into it. Tighten the hold down screws. Remove the business card. Your "air-gap" is now set at approximately .010" Closer is better, wider is not.
Check the fuel filter, air cleaner, and muffler for plugging. Check the condition of all fuel lines. Does the primer bulb fill with fuel when pumped several times? Check the spark at the plug (gapped at 0.020") which should be blue and snappy. If weak looking, you may need to reset the ignition module gap to the flywheel magnets with a thin business card for a gauge. Remove the left side case to expose the flywheel and ignition module. Turn the flywheel to bring the magnets under the ignition module, insert the card into the pole gaps, loosen the module screws to allow the module to contact the magnets, then re-tighten the screws. Turn the flywheel one full turn and watch the gaps to make sure the flywheel doesn't contact the module. Recheck for spark. Hope this helps!
Ignition module gap Place a business or index card between the fly wheel and coil, rotate until the magnetic attraction pulls everything tight together. Tighten the coil screws, rotate the flywheel until the attraction eases and remove the card. Ensure nothing contacts when flywheel is rotated.
