What is the correct gap for the spark plug on the SuzukiVMH7 on the older Toro lawn mowers? What else would cause a weak spark. I gapped the magneto with a one dollar bill. It was close anyway.

Thanks Dude. That's what I tried and it runs.
For general informaiton, This is a 1988 model and must have been sitting for a long while. There is little wear and it is surprisingly clean but the piston was frozen(stuck) in the cylinder. I got it free but I think that the rings are stuck because it smokes pretty bad when it runs. Does anyone have a suggestion for freeing the rings without tearing down the engine?

i'd rebuild it anyway if the piston was stuck..... either that or replace it.
