Is that a Kohler 12 hp?...
could be the coil but recheck the points ... the may be just a little off... also did you change the condenser along with the points?
The coil is an easy checkout .. IF its the engine, with the big external automotive coil that I am thinking that was on that ... BTW that's a good old tractor... have not seen them around in many years.. :smile:KennyV

it's a cast iron briggs 12h.p. and the coil did go. so put a new one in,and all is well.

Good to hear you are going...
Didn't the decks on these discharge on the left side? Instead of the right...

Please ...Post some pictures, I have not seen one in a long time. :smile:KennyV
