BrownA Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Yes, I made sure my points were clean, my flywheel key was new and I did have the correct replacement parts. Today I pulled my motor off the tractor. I decided to go right to the heart of it and start from the begining. I pulled the flywheel shroud off and decided to recheck the air gap between the armature and the flywheel. What I found was that the two legs of the armature are not at the same radius as the flywheel so they dont match up perfect. I gapped it again using a feeler guage and not the piece of paper Briggs gives you to use as a feeler guage. When I did this my spark was back so I started to put it back together again. I put my new points and condenser back in, put a new starter belt on and put the engine back on the tractor without bolting it on. At this point my son had to go to the doctors so I was done for the day. Hopefully tomorrow I will finish bolting the engine in and hear it run again.

djarvis949 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 I'm not all that familiar with Brigg's, but we had one at work that the mag coil had been put on backwards (wrong side out)which caused a no spark condition. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
