I have an old BRIGGS L-head engine that's driving me nuts. Its a model 233431 and has the points mounted on the side. Its on an old generator I seldom use.
A couple years ago I put a new coil, points & condenser in it as it had no spark at all. All was well and it ran fine afterwards. Maybe used it once or twice since then and still all was well.
Went to start it a week or so ago and back to no spark. Cleaned the points and new plug, still nothing. Suspected condenser but didn't have one. I did have a couple magnatron coils that don't require points so thought I would convert it over to that. Simple enough I thought. Both coils worked fine on another engine. I can only get a very very weak spark with them on this engine. Not enough to start or run even spinning it fast with a big drill. Magnet in flywheel seems strong. Coil is facing right way. Tried numerous plugs. What am I missing?
