Briggs and Stratton 3.5hp No Spark

[Fish]

I have a 3.5hp Briggs on a Snapper. I checked and it was getting no spark. I cleaned the contacts on the magneto and flywheel and still nothing.

How should I check to see if the "Kill Switch" is grounded out? Before I go buying a new magneto.

I don't know where it is.

So where in the hell did you "clean"????

If I got an electronic coil. How to I wire that ground wire.

 

[hurst1979olds]

I cleaned the magnets on the flywheel and the magnets on the magneto. Nothing else as you can see.

Yeah,one cannot accuse you of over cleaning!!!

 

[hurst1979olds]

When I say clean the magnets, I mean I sanded the contacts to make a better signal.

When I put an electronic is it just a drop in. How do I wire the kill?

No that is the old style that uses points, search for Briggs #398593 or #496914, Just bolt it on, gap it with the card in the package or business card, and hook up the kill wires from the carb and the chute sensor to the small terminal on the coil.

Coil is ordered

 

[hurst1979olds]

I cleaned the contacts on the points and reset to .020. Still no spark. Good thing I ordered a new electronic coil.

 

[hurst1979olds]

I got the coil in. And it now fires and runs on either. The carb diaphragm should be here today.....What part number plug should I use?

Originally was a cj8 then they switched their l-head plugs to a j19lm.
