Vanguard 7.5 ignition coil help

Look at the 715023 coil It appears there are three very similar ignition modules used on similar engines. the 715023 is used on the 6.5 hp engine the 715982 is used on the 7.5 hp and the 715118 is used on the 9 hp engine. I found a listing on amazon that says replaced 715023, 715118. and 715464 which is the predecessor to the 715982. So the choices could be the module on your engine is incorrect. Or try Star's option of inverting the module.

Good Catch there IL. The new coil pack does appears to be the Briggs 715023.
And the 715023 is not a direct replacement for the 715982 but the Chinese apparently are saying it will work anyways when installed. Drop the B1 prefix I use in house.
Sometimes it is only the tension lead length and termination that are the main differences. But IL probably remember those coils on v-twin that Briggs had us modifying the cylinder mounting with a die grinder so the new replacement coils would fit several years ago.

Remember grinding them to fit the square peg in the round hole. Or for the unknowing, we has to grind down the webbing between the module mounting pegs to make clearance for the new CDI square body of the modules.
It also looks like they use the 915023 the 715464 and the 715982 on the 138432 engine depending on type number.
