I am trying to start an old 5hp Briggs but I don't get any spark. I have checked the points and they "look" fine. How can I test the points and/or coil or anything else to do with getting a spark from the plug. (I did try a different plug).

Thanks,

Gary

Gary, First of all, make sure there is no grounding(Im not sure about the horizontal shaft engines, but the verticals are grounded when the throttle is closed.)Second of all, did you clean the points? If you did, did you check the gap? It is supposed to be .020 from the factory, but .018 is fine on a older engine, if this doesn't help, try changing the condenser(a point/condenser kit is around $10), its not very often that the coil dies, but if it is dead(no spark after you replace the points and condenser) I think one off of a 3½ lawmower should work.
