Yea.
Are you asking about the clearance between a magneto coil and the flywheel/magnets?

My rule of thumb is to use three sheets of copy paper as a gage. Put them between the flywheel and the magneto, press together lightly, tighten the magneto fasteners and pull the paper out.
HTH,

I doubt there is actually any specs for that.
The paper method above is good or you can use a bit of thin cardboard from a breakfast cereal box.
Just remember to roll the flyweel all the way around to make sure it doesn't hit anywhere. Few flywheels are 100% perfectly round

For Briggs and Stratton, .010-.014". Your engine should be similar...
Thanks guys
In place of dental floss...
I use the flap of a spark plug box.
