12.5 horse briggs spark problem

Recommended Posts

I am working on a friends 12.5 horse briggs engine and it was running great. I go to start it and nothing. I pull the spark plug, clean it up and check the gap and still nothing, so I took off the spark plug and put the coil wire close to the block and nothing. My guess is that the coil is shot, but can this just happen like that???

Yes,the coil and the module are one.Check if it has a low oil cutout.If it does disconnect the single wire going to it and then check for spark.

Now that you mention it I changed the oil in it and I didn't have enough. There was enough in it to start it and move it so thats probably were I went wrong at. Thanks!!
