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 :

Automatic Model L118

Ignition Module (Armature) Air Gap 0.203 – 0.305 mm (0.008 – 0.012 in.) Intake Valve Clearance 0.102 – 0.152 mm (0.004 – 0.006 in.) Exhaust Valve Clearance 0.23 – 0.28 mm (0.009 – 0.011 in.) Spark Plug-Gap 0.76 mm (0.030 in.)

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.
Automatic Models LA165 and LA175

Ignition Module (Armature) Air Gap 0.203 – 0.254 mm (0.008-0.010 in.) Intake and Exhaust Valve Clearance 0.102 – 0.152 mm (0.004 – 0.006 in.) Spark Plug-Gap 0.76 mm (0.030 in.)

Why Is The Spark Plug Gap Important? The spark plug gap influences the heat range of the spark produced to ignite the air fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This makes it critical to engine performance.
The incorrect plug gap for your engine can contribute to a high rate of misfires, loss of power, plug fouling, poor fuel economy and accelerated plug wear. It is always best to check the gap against the manufacturer`s specifications.
The larger the gap, the more voltage is needed to jump the gap. Most experienced tuners know that increasing the gap size increases the spark area exposed to the air-fuel mixture, which maximizes burn efficiency.
A smaller gap will yield a short, intense spark and will usually make the engine real responsive. A wide gap creates a longer spark arc but without sufficient “juice” from your ignition system, (including amps), it can be weak and yellow in color.
You can find this parameter in the user and maintenance manual for your garden tool: for Efco machines, the standard spark plug electrode gap is 0.5 mm for chainsaws, brushcutters and blowers, and 0.7–0.8 mm for tools such as lawnmowers.
Are all lawn mower spark plugs the same? No, all lawn mower spark plugs are not the same. Spark plugs are engine specific and there are different sizes and heat ranges (voltage requirements).
These plugs are pre-gapped at . 044″.
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.

As the spark plugs wear, the spark plug gaps widen, also weakening MPG. This is because the wider the spark plug gap, the more voltage is required to arch between the electrodes. The smoother the combustion process, the lower the demand for engine power and the lower the demand for fuel.
At the top of the list, we have the NGK Spark Plugs. With iridium as its core material, this spark plug pack can operate at a much wider heat range as compared to ordinary spark plugs made out of platinum or copper.
The spark plug gap should be 0.58-0.65 mm (. 023-. 026 inch).
Check the spark plug gap. It should be 0.6 – 0.7mm(Fig.

Spake plug is not spakeing – John Deere Original 130 160 165 175 180 185 Operators
ANSWER : Hi Lloyd
Make sure you are getting spark at the spark plug, to do this:Remove your spark plug and check to be sure you are getting a bright blue spark at the spark plug.You do this by grounding the plug on the head of the engine and cranking the engine or by pulling the crank rope…watching the plug for spark.If you are getting a nice blue spark then skip A below and go to B.
A…If you do not get a nice blue spark then you may need to replace the electronic module.Note: If you have to replace the module be sure to measure the position it is in, it is critical to starting.The clearance can be measured with a “business card”…use the card for the right clearance between the coil and the flywheel.Take a picture for later reassembly.
B…Also take some fine grit sandpaper (not emery) and lightly sand the flywheel where the magnet is located to clean any rust or corrosion from the magnet area.Please rate meBud
