well started working on the 3212 and first i pulled the motor and cleaned all the rodents out clean it up and put it back in ran for about four min and died it had a sparatic spark well pulled it back apart to c what it was and i think its a melted coil what do u think

Must have had a chewed insulation somewhere. Rodents are evil!

That doesn't look like a 12 hp engine, that's an model 19 or possibly an early 23 mag in the photo, but I too waould think that the coil is shot.

yea i tried that it doesnt have my motor 300421-0127-01

[dentwizz 3]

But I just looked up the number you gave and it came up. Am I missing something? (the 01 at the end of the type is changed to 99 as a 'catch all' in the diagrams).

If it were mine, I would buy a Kohler coil off ebay and re-wire it for a battery ignition. Here is an example.

The Briggs engines run really well with this setup, especially helps cold weather starting. John U

Sure looks like a model 19 to me also.I have found them for $45 puls shipping for the last few that I have worked on.

I never seen a coil mounted under the flywheel either on a 300421. More than likely is a model 19.

ka9bxg & RayS are correct. Definitely a Model 19.

What Luck??sm00

That makes more sense. Too bad its the FB and not the D. D used the modern coil. Here is a link to a mention of the differences. Dunno if that might shed light on it or not... http://www.smokstak.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68291
