I normally use a business card but in the past I have had chainsaws that were hard to start and after bringing the air gap down the saws start better,just my two bobs worth.Oh come on Harley, we can do better than that!Feeler gauges? Stihl gauges? GEEZ! Whats up with this place???? Just use a friggin business card placed between the magnets and the flywheel, tighten it down and be done with it!
Now that it is 2020, we now refer to them as "feelings" gauges......Oh come on Harley, we can do better than that!
Rrrright !
Here's a field expedient feeler gauge: Most of you probably already know this, but for the benefit of those who don't, the cellophane wrapper on packs of cigarettes' is almost always .001 thickness. I've never seen them vary more than +/- .0002 if that. I'm a retired tool maker as well, and that knowledge has come in handy a whole lot of times.I always wanted to be a tool and die maker,but that part is self taught,with a little help.My great grandfather,grandfather,and father,were tool makers.For heavens sake,I ended up as an electrician.
