Spent days chasing a miss firing briggs 13hp engine. 21B807. 0290 E1. 0512227A. For those in the know. I have given myself the label of "parts replacer" not mechanic, also for those knowing. Or not knowing as is my case.
Only to ponder, was it just the fuel solenoid not operating correctly after I had "Dr" the plug by removing the plastic and attaching the terminals to the solenoid prongs.
Long story, I replaced the entire engine with a "donor", then had the same issue, only to have it resolved easily by swapping out the bad solenoid for a good one.
I have embarrassed myself with the amount of time and money wasted chasing a miss fire or engine pop. Even employing AI to affirm what I was doing was the correct method. To any wondering if AI helps, well, in my case it confirmed just what an imbesile I am when dealing with things mechanical. I hope this helps someone who thinks they know the one solution in a thousand problems, when in actual fact it's one simple problem amongst a thousand solutions.
