Gap size between flywheel and coil Briggs and Stratton 3HP?

Does anyone know the size of the gap between the flywheel and coil thingy? It's the sort with "electronic ignition" (no points)The engine is a 3HP Briggs and Stratton.

You can just gap it with a piece of letter paper folded in half once. Basicly, put the coil as close to the flywheel as possible without it rubbing on the flywheel. I do this all the time on my 3hp briggs engines. (I have 4 of them on various equipment.)
