The 582 with the 16 hp briggs is a breakerless system.The thing you can check is if both cylinders are firing.When the motor is cold,start it and let it run a few minutes,shut it down and check to see if both plugs are hot to the touch.You say you rebuilt the carb, but most times you do the fuel pump and the carb together.The settings on the carb should be 1 1/2 turns on the high and low needles.Has this motor been rebuilt?
