Anyone have aprocedure on how to test the coil on one of these engines? Thanks in advance. J.

I'm not sure about your engine, but here's how to test the coils on most B & s engines. With an OHM meter, measure from the wire that connects to the points, to the wire with the ring terminal that grounds under the coil mounting screw. You should read o Ohms. Then measure the plug wire to the same ring wire and you should read 4 to 8 Ohms. If both readings are good, the coil is good. If you read infinity in either place, the coil is bad. Infinity means either point is way out of line.

Plug wire test to the points primary wire should be in the range of 5000-6000 ohms. Not 4 to 8 ohms.

I stated in the above message that the reading from plug wire to ground wire should be 4 to 8 ohms. I really don't know what the reading from the plug wire to wire to the points should be. I took my procedure from a B & S repair manual for some real old engines
