Hello,
I Ordered a new motor and unboxed it today I noticed the Magneto housing had a loose screw so I checked in side and the Magneto Nut was loose,
Question how tight should it be? It's my first time tinkering with the magneto it self I have changed coils.

Thank you
 
I doubt there is an official torque spec out there, but if all else fails I use a fastener torque spec chart. Generic figures for the size of the fastener. I don't remember the size off-hand, but an M8 nut would be ok from 15 to 20 ft-lbs. M6 from about 10 to 16 (depending on grade) Just make sure there is a lock washer. You can also use blue thread locker and use the lower torque figures as the thread locker acts as a lubricant and alters perceived vs. applied torque.
