Briggs lists it as .006 - .010 on this 6 HP L-head engine. The .010 width can easily be attained by using a standard sized business card as a feeler gauge (and it doesn't stick to the magnets in the flywheel). I double up the card, loosen the coil and let the magnets in the flywheel draw the pickup legs in until they press on the card, tighten up the retaining screws (threadlocker is optional) and your air gap is set.

What is the coil gap on a Briggs and Stratton 500e series 140 cc engine

If you are replacing the magneto with a new one it should have come with a shim to use. If it is lost or you're resetting the old one a gap of .010" will work.

Need magneto gap specifications between the flywheel and magneto.

I don't know the specs, but a business card inserted between the two always works for me.

875 Series Engine-cleaned flywheel and magnets and magneto. Put back together and now no spark to spark plug. What is the air gap between the magneto and flywheel.

You should put it at .020

Are you sure you had spark before you took it apart? If you are not sure, then the Ignition Coil may have went bad. How did it act before you decided to take it apart?

Timing is off nedd to know what depth to set magneto at briggs and stratton 600 series lawn mower 190cc

the timing is fixed by way of woodruff key in the crank which locates into a chanel in the flywheel and is not adjustable. If you mean the air gap between the ignition unit and flywheel then set it to aprox .002-.005 inch
