8 hp no spark
1 Attachment(s)
I bought a model 400 tiller last yr that had been sitting in a barn for 10 yrs. I'm trying to ready it for spring but the engine has no spark. I don't know where to start or what to check on this type of ignition system. It is an 8 hp Briggs, any help is appreciated.

Pull the flywheel and clean the points up. Clean the magnets on the flywheel and bottom of the coil. See what ya got then.

Most of the older non magnetron have points,which are behind the flywheel.

yes I know ,but It may be older,maybe if he has the code we can decipher its age.

There are two wires connected to the magneto that go down behind the flywheel....so it does have points? What kind of job is it to pull the flywheel, i.e. do I need a puller? I ran some sand paper over they flywheel magnets and bottom of the coil earlier with no result. How clean do they need to be, shiny new, light surface rust okay? Sorry if the q's seem basic but engine repair is not my strong suit.
Thanks for the help! Bill |
Man you guys are fast. Here are some numbers from the flywheel shroud. I should have posted these in the first place, sorry

That has no points like Jonathan said,you can try cleaning the magnets and that is about it.
