Description

This is a magneto armature, also known as an ignition coil. It consists of a large rubber housing with an aluminum mounting armature and an electrical lead cable. An ignition coil is an electronic part that converts low-voltage power from an engine flywheel to high-voltage power for a spark plug. When the ignition coil has failed, the motor will not start. Early signs of failure include motor stalling, especially at lower speeds. These can also be symptoms of a dirty carburetor, so that should also be checked. To test an ignition coil, disconnect it from everything except the spark plug, then disconnect the spark plug boot. Insert a multimeter inside the boot, with the other contact on the metal coil housing. If it reads between 2,500 and 5,000 ohms, the ignition coil is working. If it shows an infinity or 1, the coil has failed. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. Designed for Briggs & Stratton motors, it has also been used on Toro machines and replaces older part numbers 492341, 495859, and 491312.
