ok, i have a craftsman 24" snowblower (a 2010 model i believe) with a 179cc Chinese motor, engine designation 265/SU-11. i'm attempting to replace the flywheel and install a stator as it currently doesn't have a pigtail to run electrics. i'm expecting the parts today. the problem is: i measured the air gap and it was .030 which i thought was kinda large. i downloaded a shop manual from MTD for the 179cc motor and they state the air gap is to be between .008-.016. there are so many iterations of this motor that at times it's confusing. it runs ok and starts easily although it seems to run lean. i'm just hoping the new flywheel and stator will bolt on. from lurking certain forums, most say the parts are interchangable. be that as it may, does anyone have knowledge of this motor and its pecularities? thanks for any help on this.
