You can put paper between the gears when you mesh them and it should be able to be pulled out, it should pass through when the gears are turned and leave a nice pattern on the paper. Just make sure the gears are not too far apart, the teeth should be making good contact, but that the gears are not grinding.

Install the motor with the gears fully touching, snug all the mounting bolts then loosen them just slightly but still snug. Take a screwdriver and pry the motor at the mounts (very slight pressure) away from the spur then hold the spur with your finger and rock the clutch bell back and forth until you just start to hear a "tap" when you rotate the clutch in each direction. I don't do the paper thing personally but it works, I like to hear the tap that way I know there is just enough gap.
