VC Victa,

For the gap you can use a business card. Now as to the coil being faulty it might not be it could be the electronic module which is pop riveted to the engine housing (it is a small silver box). If it does not have the module then it will be a complete coil change as the coils have the module built into the coil which can be a real pain when they break down.

The old way was good because the coils very rarely became faulty only the module and the cost was a lot less only around $20-$30 compared to $50 + for a new coil.

You should be able to swap the carbies around but use the old brass main jet (the one that holds the primer cap on).

Hope that this is of some help. cheers2
