trouble with briggs

Sounds like you have two ignition coils. There should be one small gauge kill wire going to each coil, in a Y fashion. If you GROUND that wire, it will short the coil to ground killing the ignition. Engine will stop shortly after.

So if you have a lose wire bouncing around, it could short one coil out causing a misfire like sound slash behavior.

Pictures will help a lot. Show us what you have there Joey.

sorry can't take pics. I also found I have a oil seal leaking and coil has oil on it. Would this affect coil?

No, might keep some surface rust off is all.

There was a post recently on here about a twin engine and the carb spitting fuel. I didn't pay attention much as I don't own one of those. One of the more knowledgeable guys hopefully will chime it here.

I got it running good. someone had the valves way to tight and bent the push rod.But one small problem after getting all put back together the starter solenoid quit working but will start and run if i jump the starter. Is there a fuse for this? thanks for all the help joey!

check for voltage on the trigger to the start, if you show 12.___ volts on the trigger wire with the key in the start position, most likely the solenoid is bad.

Are your cylinder cooling fins clean, all the way around the cylinder?

Might look for a moved valve guide.
