Hello again Rivets, Born2Mow and everyone else that took the time to consider my issue. It's fixed. THE solution was to replace the coil. (Methinks the formal names might be "Magneto" or "Armature". I followed all the suggestions to the extent of my abilities. Took all of the wire connections...

OKay then. Thanks

Thanks Rivets for the reply. I don't have any carb cleaner so THAT step will need to wait until my next trip to the tractor store. I took the plug out, left the plug wire connected to the plug, touched the bottom of the plug to the engine and tried starting. No spark. Here is a bit more...

Good Saturday morning all. I HOPE this is the correct place to post this. Here's the deal. When I change the oil in my rider (with a Briggs engine) I use a 7/16 open end wrench. What I would like, is to use a socket of some sort, instead of an open end wrench. Why ? I have arthritis pretty...
