Tiller wouldn't start after getting caught in the rain on my truck. Even though it was left in the sun to dry it still wouldn't start. Pulled the flywheel and cleaned the points. Nothing was wet just xidized I guess. Reset the gap as it was a little close to the .020 it calls for. Close gap can overheat the coil. Light shot of starting fluid presto started right up. I'm good to go. Here's a few things I've learned over the years from working on this Briggs motor. The pull cord clutch holds on the flywheel. The washer under that is domed. Domed side goes out. When retightening everything most people don't have the starter clutch tightening tool, so you tap it with a hammer and punch. It must be really tight as I've had it not tight enough and the shear key sheared ever so slightly only about a 1/4 the way though not all the way sheared and it just won't start. The timing was off. It would be really nice to have the flywheel holder tool and the clutch tightening wrench. But with the cost and limited use the hammer and punch will do. Take care.
