I don't know what model that Suffolk is, Michael, and you haven't posted pictures. Usually either the coil-to-magnet gap cannot be adjusted, or there is a way to access it. The early Villiers 2 strokes had a removable flywheel cover, for instance.
I suggest you post pictures of the Alroh Imp edger. Meanwhile I can't understand why someone would package a complete machine that has a Briggs and Stratton engine, with an old British carburetor.
