Hey guys, well I just got back from the poor wheat crop, we just got more rain on it! It would be 50 bushel per acre crop but the rain and wind just keep coming, it blowing it all on the ground, never seen anything like it, my dad in a 1680 usually travels 4-4.5 mph in good standing wheat, he is now traveling 1.5-3mph, making for a very long harvest. But anyways, I have a (don't curse me out) junk deere 112 riding mower, well the engine went on it and I can't get the parts for it any more. Well I got an old Briggs&Stratton Engine model 23C usually use on small augers and I cannot get any spark out of it, I cannot find anywhere the gaps I need so Im just trying differnt things and nothing is working, I was hopeing to put that old horse in place of that stupid techumse.

Thanks Derek

After sending that last posting I may have misspoken about the armature beneath the flywheel.
I think it's exposed after removing the shroud.
You should check those magnets for rust on the flywheel and clean them with some 320 wet or dry.

I have B&S 23 engine on a 31" Toro Whirlwind mower. The points are mounted externally on the engine are set at .020". Be sure to clean them with some 320 wet or dry until shiny, then take a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean them again.
Install a new sparkplug too. The amature coil is beneath the flywheel and I wouldn't pull that until you clean the points and try starting the engine. You may want to pull the fan shroud and make sure there's no dirt in that area to restrict the cooling air. Here's a picture of that Toro mower. Hal
PS: You can mount a generator on the engine as a starter/generator. I use my tractor to start mine.
