Did some further testing this AM.
Coil and wiring tested good as well as points using the tips you guys have given me.
But.....as I was testing I noticed I can GET GOOD SPARK by turning the flywheel BACKWARDS.
Just to confirm, all briggs motors turn clockwise when looking from front of motor - correct? (carb to the left).
Assuming this is correct, and I,m getting spark when rotating the flywheeel backwards, this tells me its a timing issue.
The timing marks line up so to me this means the armeture piece mounted on the crankshaft has slipped or spun away from where it should be.
Am I on track with this diagnosis?????
