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.

Great repair job Kevin! Thank you for sharing!

Nice job, i am learning a lot from your videos. John From Blount Creek NC

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.

Excellent teaching course. Thanks.

Thank you so much for sharing! Saved my day with the blade trick :)

Another great video Kevin, stay safe.

Thanks Kevin. Easy to follow

Good job I really enjoyed the video and also learned how to do the process, thanks for posting the videos

Great video - thanks for sharing. Just paid $40 for the same part for my Snapper rideon!

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 are very competent in using a log splitter !!

Nice one Kevin keep it up cheers from the uk

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.

Explained very well. Figure the principle is the same for my Craftsman Tecumseh lawn mower. Thanks.

Buen trabajo kevin..

out standing video

Great video! You are awesome

I watch Nathan Rohrbough from West Virginia on KZfaq 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 !!!

Gotta love those Quantum engines, I got 3 of them.

thanks share this video

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.

You can also use a business card to set the gap on your coil.

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.

Awesome video mr fix it. Lol. Thanks for sharing.

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

Should bring the magnet to the coil and ck gap,

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 ;-)

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

When I gap the coil I just use a business card. That's about the right thickness

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.

Nice gob and thank u

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

I've always used a business card for my guage works the same

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🙄

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

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?

How do you know if the coil is going bad

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

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?

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.

when i gap the coil i use an uno card Hahahaha-Nice Video

Does anyone know where to find a Ignition coil for a model NS Bridge in Stratton Motor

Does your log splitter rotate for vertical splitting stroke?

I can't find my part number for my coil

You did get lucky you should test with a multi meter Kevin and if there going to do things like this they need one.

Is it a lazy wood chopper?

I asked my auto parts store for a filler gauge and they just stood there and laughed at me. How rude

How did you know the coil was bad?

.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?)

Sounds like a 747 sized wasp is doing the rounds in the background.

Theres only one motor in my fleet thats constantly giving me issues and thats my Briggs. New ones are junk. Never again.

Does that motor have a set of points

Back when Briggs and Stratton used an actual metal carburetor and an engine recoil with metal, not plastic.

Changing parts is not testing the old part. Anyone can change parts out.

Can business card work

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

why are you trying to used parts?

feeler gauge is to much work. a bussiness card is quick a easy

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.
