Hi, Would you have the correct part number of the coil I should be looking for? Thanks

These coils are very sensitive to both the spark plug and the plug gap .
What plugs are you using ?

I don't have the number in front of me but I know it's a champion plug. I will look tomorrow. I will say one thing I regaped the plugs today after reading over the manual, they were to wide and it seemed to run better.

Thank you, I have found a couple of the older 394891 style like what is on my mower now. Man the newer part number looks totally different. Should I go with the older style? Or will it matter?

Probably won't matter, if you get/order the 394891, most likely you will receive the 590781.

I have found a few NOS 394891 in the original B&S boxes. The new style 590781s are a good bit cheaper and seem to be all made in china. That's where the bad one I have now that I bought was made. Most of the time you get what you pay for I guess.

Thanks again for your help.

I have same. This is the second ignition coil that I have put on it.

I hope this next one last as long as the first one did. LOL

Depends if it's an OEM Briggs part or aftermarket? I've used a few aftermarket coils
