dentwizz 6 Posted September 8, 2010 Must have had a chewed insulation somewhere. Rodents are evil! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReedS 5 Posted September 8, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snohiker 1 Posted September 8, 2010 yea i tried that it doesnt have my motor 300421-0127-01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dentwizz 6 Posted September 8, 2010 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midnightpumpkin 82 Posted September 8, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snohiker 1 Posted September 8, 2010 maybe the pics wrong on the parts diagram it showing an external coil mines under the flywheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snohiker 1 Posted September 8, 2010 midnight thats not a bad idea if i cant find the right one i might have to go that way thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ka9bxg 3 Posted September 8, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayS 79 Posted September 9, 2010 I never seen a coil mounted under the flywheel either on a 300421. More than likely is a model 19. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roy 0 Posted September 9, 2010 ka9bxg & RayS are correct. Definitely a Model 19. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snohiker 1 Posted September 9, 2010 found a new tag on it its a model 23a fb it must be wrong fan shroud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dentwizz 6 Posted September 10, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
