WHX?? 46,403 #5 Posted July 12, 2021 I used that one on horizontal and it worked fine so far Ed. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read several reports where the module had to be flipped around to get a good spark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,403 #7 Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) I didn't have to (AL block) but some motors yes depending on the polarity of the magnets. You can send the flywheel in to have the magnets repolarized but you don't want to do that. If they think the wheel is defective you won't get it back. Dan will know more.

That block had reversed polarity on the magnets. Aluminum block should have the correct polarity for normal installation of the coil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #9 Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) OK, I got the coil today and installed it with 0.010" gap. Perfect bolt on match. Have good spark and the Briggs ran but would not throttle up. Seems to be starving for fuel. So off comes the carb to find this. It amazes me that it even runs like this. This was in the bowl. The float pivots and the valve opens and closes, but the pin is frozen in the aluminum ears. Probably not coming out with out breaking an ear off. I may just clean it up and put it together as is. Oh, Dan or Jim, why are there two kill wires coming off the same kill lug? One has a bare end and one has a ring terminal. I didn't connect either as there is a kill lever that shorts the spark plug.

LoL Some engines had a kill switch on the engine and the other wire would be for a remote switch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On some engines there is a kill wire hooked to the throttle so the engine will shut down when the throttle is pushed all the way in the slow direction, or it can be shut off with a switch. If you find that the carb is beyond repair, I have had good luck with the china 2 piece flow jets from . They usually cost just a few $ more than a B&S rebuild kit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is a 4 bolt, but it is on a 3HP engine. Do you think I need the large 4 bolt carb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The OEM number for the carb that engine should be 295607 If all else fails, check the venturi size in comparison to yours 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
