I have an old briggs and Stratton motor on my log splitter. I would say a pre "63 with the 3 legged armature on the ignition coil. Around 10 years ago my dad used it, was coming home, and lost the splitter going down the road, It ran that day. When it hit the ditch it busted off a stud for the carb. So I pulled it out the other day (10 years later), and fixed the carb, and the motor will not start. I cleaned up the flywheel and coil, but it seems like its getting a weak spark. When I hold the plug wire and turn it by hand I get a little shock. Anyone got any tips, or ideas? I need to get the splitter going again. Thanks.
