I need the gap dim between the fly wheel and the mag. Thanks , Rudy Sorry ! The saw is a 16'' super 2

For the saw to start it needs 3 things. 1. fresh fuel. If the fuel it is older than 2 months dump it out and put in fresh fuel. Next it needs air. Check the air filter. If you hold it up to a light you should be able to see light through it. If not clean or replace it. Last it needs spark. Pull out the plug and let it touch the saw so it makes ground. Pull the starter cord and you should see the spark jump the gap in dim light. If no spark the points and /or the condenser have failed. They are under the flywheel. You will need a fly wheel puller to get to those. To remove the fly wheel you must take off the nut. To do this must keep the fly wheel from turning. I have stuffed some rope that will not shed particles into the spark plug hole. Then put your wrench on the nut and spin it off. Use the puller to remove the fly wheel. The points and condenser are usually in a metal box to keep them clean. You will need to know the proper point gap. You can measure the gap fully open with a feeler gauge and set the new points to the same gap. Reassemble and the saw will run.

The gap should be about .010 (Ten Thousandths of an inch), but truthfully, the way I set it is to loosen the coil bolts and place a shiny business card in between the coil and flywheel. Tighten the coil up snug against the business card and then remove it. This should set the gap close enough to the correct setting for you; done. Hope this helps and best of luck to you.

0.3mm should be the air gap.

15 thou on points and 8 thou on mag. Regards Phil

removw chop screen and blower housing unplug little wire under mag remove 2 screws and remove mag reverse prosess with new mag but pull mag away from fly wheel and snug screws center magnet on flywheel over legs of magneto place .010 feelre guage inbetween and loosen screws, hold mag against flywheel and tighten remove feeler guage reinstall kill wire on bottom of mag install blower housing and chop screen hope tis helps

there is no set gap realy what i do is put a thin bit of carbord inbetween the coil and fly wheel so there is say 25th of an inch of gap dont set it so tight that the fly wheel hit's the coil or it will distroy it there needs to be a very small gap and it will work just fine,,ok?

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.

Usually new mags are delivered with a cardboard spacer to use to set the gap. It is roughly that of a business card, probably around .8 to 10 thousandths inches. Use cardboard rather than feeler gauges as the feelers are magnetic usually and will attract contaminants.

hi kathy. this is an easy one. first of all you will need a spark plug gapping tool, about a dollar at any auto parts store. Your chain saw most likely calls for PLUG TYPE: Champion CJ6 SPARK PLUG GAP: 0.025 in. (0.63 mm).

Here is the website of a short video to show you exactly how to gap the spark plug. write back if you need any more info.
