Well I've replaced everything gapped it and it has no spark. Prolly a bad coil and the magnatron swap is my cheapest option! Depending on flywheel weight I could in theory, quite possibly do a flywheel swap too and the coil could be modded to mount up as originally stated.

I'd just say more reliable from my standpoint.

If I was going to reshape the contact pad I could. Or I could rob a magnetron Coil off of an engine with the same flywheel size. These things just come of over lawnmowers and they work a lot better than your points systems.

Kinda what I'm thinking.

Its only off by like a quarter inch Max. Not worth buying a new one. Trying to make this engine work, but I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Flywheel sizes are different, so that's probably a bad thing. The coil was free however my old one is bad.

Read my last post, that's how I feel, not trying to hurt any feelings just gain some tech advise.

Yeah, if you don't have any info/advise about my set-up, just go ahead and not post in my thread. Thanks!

Its called a magnetron coil, used after 1984 to replace briggs' points and condesor system. Dumbass.

So I stole a magnatron coil off my 5hp genorator and went to bolt it on my. 2hp Briggs and it doesn't bolt directly up. I'm planning on just drilling out the holes to make it fit. Any ideas?

I just think it would be fun, and possibly more effective than clutches.

lets say that you had a design set up with 1 pulley on the engine, one on the jackshaft, an oversized belt, and a tensioning pulley you can opperate with a lever. I'm contemplating if this will work for a clutch set-up. Thoughts?
