Just wondering if anyone could tell me the point setting on a 1971 sears eska 5.5 hp I've wrenched a lot of cars mostly chevy and ford so .017 - .019 comes to mind for a 30 degree dwell but no clue for this engine! If I could also obtain the plug gap I would be most obliged. Thanks Have a no spark situation and seeing how I just obtained this and have no prior history figured why parts are still available I would due a complete tune up and clean up just to get to know her a little better.

Re: no spark

I'd be inclined to be sniffin' around the kill tab on the stator, and the wire on the points to see if either is grounded anywhere.
