Briggs & Stratton Flywheel magnets:
Are there one or tree magnets and which POLE orientation?

We need a picture of the flywheel for reference. There are different designs.

What engine number is the flywheel on?

If it is only for triggering the coil, I don't think pole direction is important. If it is the magnets attached to the underside inner portion of the flywheel then the poles have to alternate between N. & S. polarity.

I’ll find the engine number after the first weekend and may be open the engine. I am interrested in the MAGNETRON ignition system with two Darlington transistors. This ignition system made the B & S engines more reliable.
This summer I made a barn found:
42 years B & S Magnetron engine with generator: It fired after using the recoil som times.
