Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Switch, briggs and stratton, hp briggs

Question
8 HP Briggs on a riding snapper.  No fire.  Engine will turn but no fire goes thru plug.  I think perhaps my toggle
switch is wired wrong.  How is the ignition activated?
What two wires need to contact.  Please.
Don

Answer
 Hello Don:

 On Small Engines like yours the Coil is Grounded to Stop the Plug from Firing. There is NO VOLTAGE going to the Coil/Ignition Module. Remove the Shutoff Wire from the Coil and Turn the Engine. If Still No Fire, then Replace the Coil/Ignition Module. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Engine at this Addy http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Select the B. Then Select Briggs and Stratton. Then Select Dont have Part Numbers. Now Scroll to the File you Want. The First 2 Numbers of the Model is the File you need. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
