How much resistance (ohms) are suppose to be on Briggs ignition coil.

Having sound wiring will not hurt.
Having a few scotches before you order the loom also helps.
I finally got some terminal tools so I can make my own looms while retaining all of the original plugs.
The prices are silly.
The wires from the plug near the starter motor are Briggs engine parts and from there on it is a Murray part.
With the wires to the coils disconnected then only electrical thing that can kill the engine is the solenoid which is spring loaded off and held open by the grey wire.
The solenoid should also have ground wire as well and these give problems.

Yeah, I'm going to hold off on ordering a new harness for a bit.
I took the mower for a short ride. After shutting it down I noticed that the kill wires and gray fuel solenoid wire are routed directly on top of the cooling fins making it very easy for the insulation to melt off. Where can I get a diagram showing how these wire should be routed around the starter and to the coils, and to the fuel solenoid. There was little slack in them to route them elsewhere.

Never seen one.
A lot of the lower covers have a loom clip to hold the solenoid wire and I usually cable tie to the dip stick tube.
there is a bit of a grove behind the starter where the wires usually run.
Nothing in the shop at the moment with your motor in it.

I think the JD technical manuals have some wire routing photos but they are the only ones I can remember.
