Believe me, I cleaned the points several times as you say and they are almost as new anyways. So is the condenser & coil. They were all replaced at same time and I doubt if there is 2 hours run time on any of them. I think either the coil or condenser went bad again. I am now leaning more towards the coil being bad as there was no spark at all.
I tried eliminating the points by using a magnatron coil. Actually tried 2 different ones. I could get only the very weakest of a spark.
According to the info in the discussion I just read, a few old Briggs engines used a flywheel magnet with reverse polarity and my 233431 is one of them. they would work with the original coil and points but not with a modern magnatron coil.
I'm going to get another original style coil and try one of the mentioned ATOM modules. I left the original points and condenser intact as they are mounted on the side of the engine. I just disconnected them. I think I might try them with a new coil before trying the ATOM. Just like to know what really was the original problem. At first I was sure it was just dirty points.
