That was an excellent video. I learned a few things about troubleshooting lawn mower engines.
That's always been a weakness of mine. Thanks for sharing.
I am here to help anytime Daryl.
Great repair job Kevin! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Paul.
Nice job, i am learning a lot from your videos. John From Blount Creek NC
Another great video Kevin, stay safe.
Thanks for all the nice comments Jim.
Got the same reading on my ohm meter. But being the persistent soul that I am, I followed up and found corrosion between the end of the wire and the cap on the spark plugs. Took it apart, cleaned up the contact, put it back together, got good readings. Started on the first pull.
Good information thanks for sharing.
Good job I really enjoyed the video and also learned how to do the process, thanks for posting the videos
Thank you for watching Andy.
Great video - thanks for sharing. Just paid $40 for the same part for my Snapper rideon!
How much did you gap it? I’m changing the one on my 28” one. Engine is a 12hp 21A907-0124-E1
@@luissonoma6255 I seem to recall using a business card for the gap thickness.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Saved my day with the blade trick :)
Glad it helped!
Excellent teaching course. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Kevin. Easy to follow
Glad to help
You are very competent in using a log splitter !!
Thank you it's better than an axe lol.
Buen trabajo kevin..
This vid makes me want to tackle a chipper I inherited with no spark, been putting it off. I used to work on the old school Briggs back in High school. It looks like the electrical is easier today than back then to work on. Thanks for sharing.
You can do it just take your time thanks Steven.
I know about all the “cheating ways” to gap the coil, but you need to gap it per the spec and with a feeler gauge. The long bladed ones are nice for this job. If not you could end up wasting money on a coil when it was just out of adjustment. See way too many home brewed ways to do things and more times than not they are incorrect or adjusted incorrectly; folks get mad when I charge them for something they supposedly did already but it was wrong. Trying to help and save someone some $$$$$ Good job Kevin.
Nice one Kevin keep it up cheers from the uk
Thank you my friend
Explained very well. Figure the principle is the same for my Craftsman Tecumseh lawn mower. Thanks.
Glad it helped Steve thanks for the comment.
Glad it helped Steve thanks for the comment.
I watch Nathan Rohrbough from West Virginia on CZcams and he pronounces put as PUTT and radiator as RODIATOR, but he gives the best advice on fixing cars, so if you pronounce something a little funny Kevin, I'll over look it, as long as your advice stays good !!!
out standing video
Thank you Jeffery.
Gotta love those Quantum engines, I got 3 of them.
Oh yeah, thanks for watching
Great video! You are awesome
Thank you so much Randy.
The law of averages is that you picked up all them coils and you didn`t have one of them that fit....It`s a good fix, Kevin, when it runs....CHEERS
Thanks for the comment Gator.
I use 3 or 4 thicknesses of newspaper for the coil gap. Also use the magnet on the flywheel to hold the coil in place whilst tightening the bolts.
Thank for the tip Nick.
I used a business card and the flywheel magnet to hold the coil in place. Then checked the gap was correct with a feeler gauge.
That's the proper way,,I use Post card,,
You can also use a business card to set the gap on your coil.
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video mr fix it. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
thanks share this video
Thanks for watching
So I'm in the same situation as it's time to be splitting wood and my wood splitter is similar to yours with the 6.0 B&S . It started right up in May and worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then, one day, no spark. I get a new spark plug....still no spark. I order a new coil since I'm over a 100+ mile round trip and wait for it. It came today. I followed the whole process of installing it. Still no spark. I tested the old coil and the new coil with my meter....no resistance readings on either coil. Bottom line is I'm stuck in the Alaskan Bush with no wood splitter.....ugh. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Your engine and this video are the closest I've found to my problem and I failed to get that satisfying ROAR at the end.
How much wood do ya go through in a season?
I’ve got family in Punxsutawney and hear about the weather 👍🏻
Always enjoy the videos
I go through about 4 to 5 cords of wood in a season David.
Great video Kevin thanks. By the way one question please - I have a Mountfield with Sumec engine (RV40 - RV150 Series - and
purchased an after market coil which is failing to produce a spark. I
have tested it and the reading is 6.2K Ohms - is this reading too high
for this machine please?
I'm sorry I wouldn't know Trev.
@@Robinson-Homestead ok no worries. I was worried that it did not fall into the 2.5k-5k ohm range for this engine. I have fitted it and it is sparking away so see what happens - thanks for swift reply and loved the video, keep em coming.
Should bring the magnet to the coil and ck gap,
Thanks for the comment
All it needed was a little spark, that would have cost you a couple hundred if you didn't have the knowledge. Growing up we would ride our bikes to the dump when we needed parts for our go carts. It was a great way to learn. Great info Kevin, thanks for sharing, be well my friend.
We used to call the dump are shopping center.
I'm having the same problem with the exact same machine as you have.where did you find the coil and do you have the part number for it. Great video just what I was needing to know. Thank you
I don't have the part number sorry Paul.
I'm having same issue same one also can't find that coil
When I could not find the correct mdel and part number, I just bought the closest Briggs & Stratton coil, but not the correct one. The arms on the coil do not make full contact with the magnet. Can I grind the part of the arms so it sits flush with the magnet?
I had to stop the video at 3:55, to post, because you said it was the coil...could be, but the tests you did at this point, have not ruled out a bad spark plug. You can test the spark plug with your meter as well.
I made my own spark tester. I soldered a wire to the body of a good plug and added a clip to the other end. I then broke off the tab at the end of my test plug, making a much wider gap. The idea is that a spark plug can look like it has a good spark when, testing using the old method of removing the plug, connecting it, and laying it against grounded metal. I heard that it is harder to make a good spark when installed in the piston chamber and under pressure, etc.. In any case, the wide gap of my tester rules these things out, since if I get a spark, it must be a good strong one. To use my tester, I do not have to, but usually remove the installed spark plug, so the engine will spin easily and fast, and has no chance of starting. I connect the coil lead to my tester spark plug, positioning it so I can see the spark. I hook the ground wire from my tester to bare metal on the mower, and pull. My tester rules out a bad plug and/or shows the plug is the issue. FYI
Back to watching...have a mower with no spark, doing some homework before further testing ;-)
When I gap the coil I just use a business card. That's about the right thickness
That works to thanks.
Thanks! I was just thinking I need to buy another tool!
Mine had rust on the perimeter of the flywheel which I removed. The rust is not a good conductor of magnetic fields.
This would be a great video if the word "test" were left out of the title, I just wasted 16 minutes and still don't know what to do with my ohmmeter on my coil🙄
Sorry but thank you for watching and the comment.
I would make sure the spark plug is good also
Nice gob and thank u
Thanks for the comment and watching.
I've always used a business card for my guage works the same
Good tip James thank you
My pressure washer has the B&S Diamond 6Hp and it starts ok sometimes when its cold but stops after 5 minutes of running and no spark Coil time
I think it would be the coil to thank you for the comment.
Does your log splitter rotate for vertical splitting stroke?
Yes it does and makes for easy work on really big logs
@@Robinson-Homestead thank you
Just replaced the coil on my splitter, same engine you have here. My splitter would run for about 10 mins, and cut off. After it cooled down for about 30 mins it would restart and run for about 10 mins and cut off. Well, after replacing the coil, the problem still persists. Any ideas?
I would think the coil to not sure maybe a dirty carb maybe not running to long not sure sorry.
My lawnmowers did the ssame also on Briggs engine. Had to replace diaphragm inside carb which pumps fuel problem went away. Coil is still the old one

i have coil part number 593142 for my craftsman 5.00 lawnmower and everywhere i look this part number does not show up?
have gas
spark plug test which is low spark
new spark plug and still low spark
How do you know if the coil is going bad
Usually when it heats up it will shut off that's how I can tell it's going bad.
Does anyone know where to find a Ignition coil for a model NS Bridge in Stratton Motor
Replacementparts.com.
Is it a lazy wood chopper?
Not sure on that one.
How did you know the coil was bad?
Yes.
Using spark plug to test for spark -- ground the metal threads NOT the tip. Like you I use a tester for fast, easy and certain.
Thanks for the comment Joe.
Does that motor have a set of points
Know points.
No points, okay good. Ordered a coil but I probably payed to much.
when i gap the coil i use an uno card Hahahaha-Nice Video
Thanks for the comment and watching Peter.

I asked my auto parts store for a filler gauge and they just stood there and laughed at me. How rude
I can't find my part number for my coil
look on the coil it might be there.
.01 in, thanks a lot! I have a Briggs N Stratton shop manual, has EVERYTHING about rebuilding these motors - EXCEPT for IGNITION (WTF? Who left out this chapter it's just kind of important... just a little?)
Thank you for the comment glad to help
You did get lucky you should test with a multi meter Kevin and if there going to do things like this they need one.
Thanks for the comment Michael.
Theres only one motor in my fleet thats constantly giving me issues and thats my Briggs. New ones are junk. Never again.
Thanks for the comment and watching.
Sounds like a 747 sized wasp is doing the rounds in the background.
Thanks for the comment Captain.
Can business card work
Sure
Back when Briggs and Stratton used an actual metal carburetor and an engine recoil with metal, not plastic.
I know thing are so cheaply made today.
@Kevin Robinson Their professional series engines are good.
Changing parts is not testing the old part. Anyone can change parts out.
Thanks for watching.
why are you trying to used parts?
Save money Russ.

You lost a nut.
When you take out the front bolt, the rear nut goes down. ..
Check where it is...

Thanks for watching
@@Robinson-Homestead No, no, thanks to you for making us learn!!!

Thanks for watching.
feeler gauge is to much work. a bussiness card is quick a easy
Thanks for the comment Michael.
Informative video, but way too long. I don't need to see you screwing and unscrewing umpteen bolts. Just show a before and after. Other extraneous video parts as well.
Thanks for the comment
Find another informative video then , Pfffft
