SOURCE: 4 hp Briggs Horizontal engine

On your flywheel there should be 2 holes threaded on the top area & the retaining nut in the centre.
remove the centre nut completely, then get a flat piece of steel bar (about 6" long x 1/2" thick x 11/2" wide) drill 2 holes (clearance holes) at the same distance as the ones on the flywheel.
then drill one in the centre about 1/4" dia.
Get two bolts that will fit into the 2 threaded holes & pass then through your newly drilled bar.
Place a ball bearing on the centre hole & tighten your 2 bolts inwards.
When they both start to get tight tap the flywheel with a hammer & tighten futher on the bolts.
The flywheel should now come loose.

SOURCE: tecumseh oh 140 solid state module

Check that the gap between the flywheel magnet and the module is correct, take the kill wire off the module, hook up a spark tester to the output of the module (spark plug removed), spin the flywheel - No spark means that the module is bad.

SOURCE: tecumseh HM80 engine, new carb, won't run

Not the solid state ignition. If this were the problem the engine wouldn't start at all. There is some adjustment needed to the carb but without more info, I'm not sure what.

SOURCE: my tecumseh engine has no spark

There is a shut down wire, This wire is grounded some where along the route. Look at the coil for this wire, it shorts the coil to ground so no spark can get out to the plug.

How does solid state ignition work

Its a magneto. Requires no outside power source. Remove the black wire from the ignition coil and check for spark. If you have spark the coil is good if not then the coil needs to be replaced. Otherwise your problem is elsewhere.

Engine does not start. Starter & solenoid work fine. Checked air filter, fuel filter, fuel level, level in choke position. Plug is kind of flooded. Increased plug gap slightly. There is no spark....

Most small engines use a flywheel with a magnet embedded in it and an ignition coil with a core that sits a few thousandths away from the flywheel. Ignition coils are common failures probably because they come from our wonderful Chinese friends. They have demolished all US manufacturers. If you replace the coil, use some gauge to measure the gap between coil core and the flywheel magnet surface before removing the old coil. Otherwise you may spend a little time using trial & error to get the engine running again.
If your engine is a Briggs and Stratton, you can find very complete maintenance downloadable information on their website. This will pertain to the engine only, not the mower.
Dunno about Tecumseh, haven't had much need for service info on those.

I have a Briggs & Stratton 18.5 HP Twin Cylinder engine that has no spark. How can I check the magneto? And, there is a wire that goes to the magneto. Should there be 12v to that wire? If I replace the...

It all depends on the model of engine. If it is a twin engine doesn't it have two magnetos.Very unusual for both to go bad It will depend on the type of ignition(points or solid state) The wire going to the magneto could be the kill switch (kills when grounded) Disconnect it and see if you get spark. IF so then it is in your safety/ignition circuit. If you replace magneto usually the gap is .008-.012

I have a 6hp tecumseh motor on a go kart that is not getting spark.it has been sitting for a whilei have cleaned the magnet behind cover but im not sure if it is the problem or something with the on/off...

First, try a new plug, then if still a problem ....

Assuming it's not pre-1985, then the ignition is solid state. To test - disconnect the 'kill' wire (usually black, but could be green or even red) coming from behind the cowling. Check for a spark. If OK, your problem is in the wiring. If still no spark, replace the coil.

If your engine IS ancient enough to have points, post back here and I'll advise.
