Old Briggs starting probs

#1
Hello, so it has to be something easy ut I can not figure it out. When I pull the cord I am getting juice at the plug wire (is bites me when I hold it) but I am not getting any spark at the plug. I have tried two brand new plugs and just to make sure. I took off the magnito and cleaned it with some sandpaper, took off the spark plug wire and cleaned that and put it back on and cleaned the grounding wire. Still no spark at the plug (i made sure I had it grounded to the engine) so I am at a loss right now. Thanks for the help!

Your mag can throw enough fire to shock you, yet not enough to throw a blue spark. I would look into a new mag.....

Can anyone tell me what this engine is so I can try to look up the parts? I just read a post about an electronic ignition. Any thoughts on this?

I will have to search the threads to see if there is one on how to change the points on these little guys. Thanks for the help

Does anyone know if this little electronic ignition will mount up on the 2 1/2 HP Briggs? This is the one I found. Please wait
