How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
The gap should be set at . 025″.
Measure and adjust the gap (as necessary) to twenty-six thousandths of an inch. (0.026).
For circular coils this spacing is equal to half the diameter of the coils; for square coils it is2 equal to 0.5445 times the length of a side.
The Top 80 website specifies a gap of 0.30mm (0.012″) but new engines from the factory have the gap set to 0.38 mm (0.015″). The bottom line is that the gap could be from 0.30mm – 0.45mm. Too great a coil gap will cause hard starting and slightly retards the spark.
For most racing applications, you usually want the plug gap to be between 0.020 and 0.040 of an inch. Most engine builders seem to settle around 0.035 of an inch. Factors such as the type of ignition you run, cylinder heads, fuel and even timing can affect how much gap will work best for you.
The gap setting is different for each vehicle but most are somewhere between 0.028″ and . 060″. Consult the owner`s manual or Champion ® catalog to find the recommended setting for the vehicle you`re working on.
Many think the larger the gap, the better. However, if the gap is too large, and the ignition system can`t provide the voltage needed to spark across the gap, or turbulence in the combustion chamber blows out the spark, misfires will occur.
If the gap is too small, the spark will likely be too weak and cause the engine to run poorly or with poor efficiency.
Side gapping spark plugs has been use in racing for years to increase horsepower by unshrouding the spark thus allowing the flame created to propagate faster resulting in a more complete burning of the fuel/air mix.
Clean the spark plug. Check that the electrode gap is 0.020 inch (0.5 mm). The bar should be turned daily for more even wear.
016″ gap is the most common for those running stock flywheels on Predator 212, 196 Clones, GX200 Hondas, Tillotson 196, 212 & 225 engines small blocks as well as big blocks and v-twins.
What should the spark plugs be gapped at? When running a magneto ignition it is not necessary to run a wide spark plug gap due to the longer duration of spark. We recommend that you set your plugs anywhere from 0.018” to 0.025” with the closer gaps being used for higher RPM applications.

My micro xxv has been idle for several years, now I ‘d like to get it going again. Do I need to do more than fresh fuel?
ANSWER : Absolutely! Check to make sure that you are getting fire at the plug before moving on to my Tips. If you don’t get spark at the plug, then you have a bad Ignition Coil (Module).
Here are a couple of my Tips that you will definitely need to check: http://www.fixya.com/support/r6078121-fuel_line_relacement_trimmer_weedeater

No spark on poulan 2055 – Poulan Pro 16-Inch 38 cc Anti-Vibration Chainsaw #PP3516AVX
ANSWER : 1st try another good plug, if no spark, remove the pull start and you will see 2 small wires and 1 thick one going to the plug, disconect the one that has a spade conector on it (the other small one should be screwed down on to the coil) refit the starter and check for spark. if none replace the ignition coil/ module as one part.

Coil gap What is the coil to rotor gap for a Poulan Pro 285
ANSWER : Remove the plug. Place a business or index card between the coil and flywheel. Rotate the flywheel until the magnet holds the coil tightly against the card, tighten all fasteners. Rotate the flywheel until the magnetic attraction eases and remove the card. Rotate the flywheel through a couple of revolutions and ensure nothing drags or contacts the flywheel. HTH
