Echo 2511t ignition coil gap?

[Steelheader]

Just wrapped up installing a new engine and cleaning up a (free ) CS2511T. Buuuuuut, I don’t know what the air gap is supposed to be for the ignition coil. I tried scouring for the service/data manual, but couldn’t find it.

Can anyone help me out with the correct gap size?

Not even close to an expert here & do not really know your saw, but in general I would think somewhere between 11 & 15 should do it. You could always just try a business card or matchbook cover or a piece of printer paper folded 3 or 4 times.

Closer the better, but take thermal expansion in to mind. Business card or any random piece of cardboard or thick paper torn off whatever is closest at time of installation has always done the trick for me.

I use 0.01" or a busines card that comes close to that. That always seems to work. Be careful about a "random piece of cardboard". There are lots of cardboard thicknesses out there.

This is exactly what I needed.

I’ll pull out the calipers and go hunting for a card that works. Maybe there’s an old library card shoved in a desk somewhere that’s just the right size. Nothing like repurposing useless stuff.

Seriously, my 2511 and I thank you.
