Description

A magneto is responsible for electricity production. It consists of five parts - the armature, primary coil, secondary coil, ignition, and magnets (in the flywheel). When the magnets fly past this component, it creates a magnetic field. When it is set at maximum, the electronic control unit will open, breaking the current flow to the primary coil and increasing voltage. The second coil will then amplify the voltage more before feeding it to the spark plug. When the armature fails, there might not be enough of a magnetic field for the primary and secondary coils to use. Thus, the spark plug will not get the voltage it needs to start the engine. Replacing the armature magneto may take 30 minutes or less. First, remove the engine housing and spark plug connector. Use a monkey wrench to loosen the mount holding the armature. Underneath, there is a cable that goes to the ignition. Detach it by gently pulling it away from the armature magneto. Align the flywheel on the post where the replacement will go. Reattach the cable and insert the armature through the post. Put the bolts back to secure the replacement in place. Make sure that that armature doesn't hit the flywheel. Connect the wire to the spark plug. This armature magneto is a genuine Briggs & Stratton product compatible with Briggs & Stratton engines. This replacement is sold individually. Armature magneto bolts are sold separately.
