    16hpbriggs and stratton no spark
    Hello,
    I have a 16hp Briggs and Stratton engine horizontal engine. Mounted on a home-made
    Logsplitter Model#401417-0127-0127-01 Cranks fine but no spark. Has point type ignition
    But the armature is very corroded and wires are chewed through by mouse. Replacement
    Armature is superceded to Magnetron style. Not sure how to hook this one up.

    Thanks for any help.

    There is really only one wire. The kill wire. Everything else should be self contained.

    You should lightly sand the magnets and set the gap of the coil poles. Guess is about 0.010 or about the thickness of 3 index cards.

    Cap and points aren't needed.

Hi I have a question about my tractor. The engine is a B&S 16 hp twin cylinder model 402707. It was running great when it began to loose power. I checked the plugs and checked for spark. Very week and intermitent. Also one side better than the other. I bought and installed a new coil and spark...
