Experience Born and raised in the midwest. Started tinkering with engines when I was about 14 on my Suzuki RM-80. I began lawn mower repair at a small hardware store. I knew absolutely nothing. I read lots of repair manuals and met an older fellow who taught me many lessons. I continued working on small engines through high school and paid my way through college working on mowers at the same hardware store. Decided to get away from the midwest and mower repair so I joined the Air Force. I repaired air traffic control electronic equipment and ended up in Hawaii where I got a part time job at Small Engine Clinic. I gained a lot of experience from the Small Engine Clinic and had a blast repairing small engines. I then took the Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician test and earned my MST. I then traveled to Wisconsin where I attended the factory update training seminar and received formal training. I received a scholarship from the Air Force and am currently pursuing another degree.
It is on a rotatiller. ( I hope I spelled that right )
Its code is: 73050101
Question -
I have a 25 year old B&S 3.5 H.P. Engine.
Model: 92902
Type: 0783
It has no spark. I have put in a new plug, checked the spark plug wire, took off the starter and checked the flywheel for rust, cleaned the magneto and no luck.
Any suggetions? If it has points and condensors then I probably will have to learn how to take off the flywheel.
Thanks: Bill Reinhard
Answer -
What is the engine on and what is the code number?
Let me know.

Answer It should have points unless someone has installed an electronic ignition module.
If it still has points I would recommend checking into an electronic igntion module. Briggs would be best, but they are higher than an after-market module.
Check you local auto parts store. They usually carry points and electronic modules. You shouldn't have to replace the whole coil. I prefer to install the small square universal electronic modules. They work fine and are usually the cheapest option.
