J.T. I had trouble believing the magnet polarity issue so I inquired at B&S Customer Support. Their answer follows. Sorry I doubted you. Subject Could you please read through the following questions and answers and give me... Discussion Thread Response (Michael-B & S) 03/11/2005 03:17 PM Jack, Thank you for your inquiry. The post is correct. The electronic ignition does not work well in conjunction with the existing polarity in these engines’ flywheels. Typically this happens on older (1981 and older) horizontal shaft cast iron engines with model numbers beginning in 23, 24, 30 and 32. If you have one of these engine models and wish to install an ignition kit, we will re-polarize your flywheel and send it back to you, free of charge. When shipping your flywheel, package it properly (we have received several of these already broken from shipment because they were not packaged properly), with a short note describing what you need, the Model, Type and Code of the engine, and a return address. Send to: Briggs & Stratton Corp. Menomonee Falls Distribution Center FLYWHEEL REPOLARIZATION W148 N9121 Patrita Dr. (Dock 23) Menomonee Falls, WI 53051 2272 Please keep in mind, we CANNOT return ship to a PO BOX (we need an actual address to ship to). If you have any further questions, feel free to update this e-mail. Sincerely, Mike Briggs & Stratton eCustomer Support Representative
