Thank you so much for mentioning that ignition units have to be the right way round. I fought an Honda GCV135, none start, none spark for a very long time, trying all manner of things. The strange thing was that occasionally it would spark and run for a little. Then I saw your video, flipped the ignition unit and it started on the first pull and didn't stop till I shut it down. I didn't know if I should laugh or weep, the relief was so powerful. Thank you for sharing!

Steve, about 30 (?) years ago I put electronic ignition on an old lawnmower that was left when I bought my house. It gave new life to an old mower. After the handles broke and I replaced them with an old set someone had thrown out, and the mower kept on cutting. Thanks for the memories.

I still have a Kmart-Murray 22" push mower with the 3.5 HP Briggs that my dad bought for me back in 1970. I still have and use it to this very day. It doesn't smoke, has gone through about 5 carburetor diaphragms, a dozen spark plugs, had two valve jobs done by me to set the end gaps/lash to the tappets and an electronic ignition upgrade like Steve just did. Starts on the first pull. The mowing deck has finally begun to rust through last year. Going to bondo over the little holes and keep it alive! It's also on it's 3rd set of wheels. I use it mostly for trimming where my zero turn won't go.

I have the exact same Dewalt 20 V drill. Used it for starting motors just like you did in this video. Ended up breaking the chuck brake from not having some sort of free wheel mechanism on there for when the engine fires. Cut the handle off of a cheap Chyneezium 3/8 ratchet and tack weld a 3/4” or so 3/8 drive socket to the backside of the ratchet head. The center twist direction selector type ratchet, not the toggle lever type. I tack welded a short chunk of coat hanger to the outer case to where it will prevent the selector from switching to the wrong ratcheting direction after the socket is tacked on there. Gotta take your time and weld slowly with wet sponge breaks so you don’t cook ratchet guts. Made the same type of thing for them dang Troybilt string trimmers with the easystart (jump start, whatever) feature that they were ignorant enough to make the drive hole that connects to the flywheel require an oddly shaped 5 point female proprietary tool to use, and you will end up needing to use it because the spring assist recoil starter pawls are garbage and fail all the time. Ended up making the ratchet starter for these turds using the 5 point drive piece off of the brand new troybilt easystart drill adapter gizmo I bought.. right after it snapped the drive bit off on the first attempt at using the damn thing. Troy Bilt batting 1000.

@greyhairedphantom4038 3 года назад

I used to use a module to convert the old HK & VK35 Kirby - Techumseh engines to electronic ignition. The old Phelon coils on the VK/HK35s were damn near imortal, and always threw a huge spark. The let down was the carburettors they used wore out quickly, becoming unreliable, and frustrating!

@paulrogers7516 2 года назад

Steve, I looked at 2 other sites on how to replace the coil on a Briggs engine they both used recycled coils from a parts engine. your episode was the only one that recommended cleaning the contact points between the recycled part and the engine. Having worked in the electronics world for over 20 years that was the best advice you could have given in this episode 4 presentation. not properly cleaning the contact areas on the engine and the replacement part could easily cause more issues in the future.

@patrickwamsley3284 3 года назад

See, I have this same engine or one nearly identical and I did this exact same thing to make it run. However I used an electronic coil from a Kohler pressure washer that threw a rod. The only slight issue with mine was that the sparkplug wire was too short but I managed to extend it and very thoroughly insulated the joint with a section of plug wire insulation and two or three layers of shrink wrap. I don't have much plan for the engine at the moment but I'd like to stick it on a go kart

@tannerc900 Год назад

Basically what I did to a vintage lawn mower I got a year ago, the only thing I did different was I believe I kept the kill switch wire and didn’t cut it and put quick connect female terminal on it to connect onto the upgraded ignition module. Did end up work and bypassed the points, still wish I watched this prior tho if I had known about this video cause I didn’t sand the terminals and other important parts and just overall hand information I wish I had known and tried before the project. I realize now I truly winged it and must have had luck on my side, I bought a parts mower for $10 and assumed the ignition module would work (thankfully it did) but didn’t think to check the sizing or anything, and by miracle I didn’t put the module upside down. I did however use a business card for the gap 😂 I’ll remember this video for my next restoration with points :)

@privatear2001 2 года назад

Great video, Steve! Thanks again. A down-to-earth approach is always the best way to explain things. Appreciate telling me what happens, as well, if you install the coil backwards. If you hadn't mentioned that, I would have been left with that question. I like it when people cover all the bases, including what happens if you do it wrong. :) I was always wondering if you're from the East Coast originally, as I'm from Newfoundland, and I always think you seem to have an east coast accent, for some reason. I have a friend from NB who seems to have the same accent as yours. But perhaps I'm mistaken. I think for the first time I understand about upgrading from breaker points to an Electronic Ignition system. The breaker and points operate on a cam under the flywheel to supply the collapse of the magnetic field built up in the coil, while the electronic ignition has a circuit (either transistor controlled or capacitive discharge controlled) built right into the coil pack. I guess this one would be a TCI unit, wouldn't it? CDI seems like it requires a separate box....

Hey Steve! Are you a believer of using any oil additives? If so what do you use??

@markk3652 3 года назад

An ounce or two of lucas oil stabilizer will help protect the cam and bearings. The splash systems in these engines are decent enough, but the high temperatures coupled with extended idle time can be detrimental to friction surfaces. Straight 30 weight detergent oil either synthetic or regular with the lucas added is my routine. Don't forget to monitor both the level and the hours run, oil changes are both simple and cheap for small engines. I do one at beginning of season of use, and one mid season of use. My Craftsman lt1000 is 20 years old, looks and runs like new.

@seanschuler1700 3 года назад

@@markk3652 Thank you for your input Mark! I will try using some Lucas and see how it goes. Last year I started using Mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic in one of my push mowers that I don’t care much about just to see if it would start burning oil. I worked it hard and I changed the oil twice during the year and I haven’t seen the oil level go down or any smoke puff out with a cold start. I’m surprised! I heard Amsoil makes a specific small engine 10w-30 oil and I think I am gonna test it out this year for myself on another lawn mower. On the Amsoil website it says not to use additives because it already has specific additives for small engines. I have watched some videos of people talking very highly of it. Maybe you can give it a try too! It is kind of spendy but I like trying new things especially if it protects my engines

Back in the good ole days, many Briggs horizontal engines used to have a metal clip that you could flip that would ground the spark plug at the plug wire terminal to kill the engine. I have an old 1970's Kemp Mfg. chipper shredder that has this. If you didn't watch where you put your fingers and touched the bare plug wire terminal instead of the flip switch, it would light you up good!

Love your videos. Have learned great deal from you. Question: My Briggs powered chipper shredder would not fire. Spark tester showed no spark. You showed me where the main jet is at the bottom of the fuel bowl. Installed a new coil, new plug, flushed the tank, flushed the carb. Filled with fresh 89 ethanol free gas WITH STABIL added. Pulled the cord and the machine ran. Next day, used machine for an hour, no problem. TWO days later, it will not fire. Plan on flushing it out all over again. WHY are briggs engines so blasted sensitive to humidity? If all ignition coils are not created equal, what is the best brand of coil to buy? Thank you for your videos and your expertise.

I have a B&S 2HP but can't find the electronic ignition for it. Would the one for the 5HP work the same? I see a lot of the electronic ignition for the 5HP for sale. Thanks for anyone's help.😉👍

@Hjerte_Verke Год назад

2HP has a smaller flywheel so the 5HP ignition armature shouldn't fit (assuming of course that it has the original flywheel), because the legs of the armature have a different angle on them to fit the smaller diameter of the 2HP flywheel. The points ignition isn't really all that bad but they can be if you neglect the engine and leave it outside to get rained on, etc. The totally wasted rusty, crusty points, condenser and plunger on the one seen in this video is the worst I've ever seen. I've got intact points ignition on a 4HP and others which I intend to keep, because it's neat, it's old school and just a little bit more complexity to a very simple engine. They are pretty reliable in my limited experience. Keep looking for parts--if you know the part number for the 2HP Magnetron (electronic ignition) you can web search all that much better. I'm almost certain there's aftermarket Magnetrons available, even if made of Chinesium. LASTLY: RU-vid comments is the worst place to attempt an intelligent conversation and get replies. I'd suggest searching for a "small engine forum" on the web, join it, read up (your question has already been asked) and ask your own question.

Unless you are going to enter this tiller in a car show, electronic ignition is the way to go!

Any time Steve. I'm just about to start work on my rockworth powertask 4 cycle generator. She just needs a tidy up, service, some fresh paint and a few new components.

Right on Steve, thickness of a plastic credit card is perfect for ignition coil gaping !

Steve I did everything you said about No COPRESION, It was hard to turn the cutting blade I did the cylinders they were ok, I clean the flywheel; Notice one side of the onesie was stuck and I had tape down the, break release I PUT wd 40 on the brake release. This was on John Deed JTHAAS63 THE ONE WIHIT TNE 2 WEALS that are extended out i hope you understand me.

@gaad7938 2 года назад

Another easy way to remember how to orient the coil properly is to look for the small silver-looking "button" on the bottom of the coil (see 6:50 in your video - it's on the right hand, bottom side near your thumb). This is the initiator coil. This coil MUST be the first to encounter the field from the rotating permanent magnet on the flywheel. In your video the shaft rotation is clockwise when viewed from the output shaft end. The initiator coil must be positioned so that the magnetic field hits it first, so the silver button thing must be on the left hand side when you mount it.

Running 220 from an outlet will give you spark as well. And,the human body makes a perfect faze too ground.

@roseymalino9855 Год назад

@@shannonbrooks8834 What is a 'perfect faze'?

@happyrecluse2849 Год назад

That "silver button" is also known as the trigger coil. Learned this yesterday from Tuber "TheRepairSpecialist".

@TJ71595 3 года назад

Steve that helped me out big time I have a 14.5 hp briggs and stratton and replaced the coil but did not know what the gap should be set to

@steve37341 6 месяцев назад

Cool upgrade. Was there a year when electronic ignition was started being introduced on these types of engines? And, would you look for a matching electronic ignition part on an engine of about the same size (HP, etc) to get the right flywheel circumference matchup?

@fbull66 3 года назад

Steve I need to do an oil change on my lawnmower and I can’t find your video.

@bradpotter6401 3 года назад

Cool trick, but being a worry wart, I'd wonder if the ignition timing is the same.

@tterry53 11 месяцев назад

Great, I just put one on my old 3hp B&S motor. The hard part was finding it since it is a 1980 motor.

@simonmorris8651 3 года назад

Another great job Steve, thanks so much for your time and effort 👍👌👏. At 10:12 are you wearing rubber slippers? When I grab a spark plug cap I get zapped. How can I get a cool Steve’s Small Engine Saloon business card in the UK? Essential tool box item I’d say 😁.

Hey Steve! You might mention this does the trick on those sleepy chainsaws that relied on points too.

@seanbrenton55 3 года назад

At the beginning of this series, I thought: he’s gonna need a new coil... Last video you surprised us by getting spark out of that crusty ol thing! But alas it was not to be. Is the ignition timing the same on all Briggs thru the ages? Great stuff as always Steve

@otpyrcralphpierre1742 2 года назад

Good stuff, Dude. Might want to put a little grease where you scraped off the corrosion to prevent it from getting corroded again.

@JuanGonzalez-nc6fr 3 года назад

Most of these small horsepower B&S use SAE 20 oil, however, that type of oil is extremely difficult, if not impossible to find. Can you use SAE 30 or 10W30? Any other substitutes? I have a 2 1/2 HP B&S engine and I do not want to damage it because I'm using the incorrect oil. An quick episode on what can you substitute when something is discontinued would be great.
