last few points briggs I have gotten had the "magnetron" ? installed on them. From what I see you just simply install the coil and snip the wires coming from the points unit....or at least thats what looks like was done on the engines I had :shrug:
Just want to verify that, I popped the shroud off a briggs I thought was locked up internally and the coil was just corroded onto the flywheel and pullstart was full of debris. So now it spins over fine and is showing compression etc.. not real sure how good the bottom end is just yet though.
It is a points engine, I pulled the flywheel to check them and they were toast and the bakelight or phenolic lifter is frozen in the hole and it snapped about halfway in trying to turn it/free it. So its probably easier at this point to convert I guess.
