yes, after you pull the flywheel you will see where they are. it may just be the condensor. but while there replace point and condensor.

This engine is an old 8horse on a snowblower. it has no spark and the plug is good. so is the coil bad and is the coil the piece that sits above fly wheel,and does the fly wheel need to come off to connect...
doesn't mean coil is bad, may just need points and condensor. They get old and wear, old b/s part no. 299061 , these are under flywheel , and points cover. either replace points and condensor or try cleaning them with flex file.(temp. repair) points gap is .020. not sure of air gap of coil to flywheel. coil can be tested at most shops, You will be able to see if points are burnt visually. hope this helps.

My 17hp ohv briggs & straten runs fine until it warms up. then it pulses and dies. what could be causing this?
If I were a betting man I would say that the coil is breaking down with heat and causing irratic spark when it is warm, if for some strange reason this motor has a condensor and points then I would say the condensor is breaking down when it heats up but I do not believe your engine has points so again I would say replace your coil and the engine should stay running after it warms up. Hope This Helps Don

Where do the 2 wires that go's to the points go
The condensor and negative coil wire both attach to the contact points. When the points are closed the ignition coil charges ( sota speak) and when the points open, the coil discharges a spark to the spark plug. The condensor is an electrical "shock absorber", it smooths out electrical spikes.
Good luck, make sure the point gap is correct.

No spark
If your engine is 11 years old it will have points @condensor under flywheel there are two wires coming from the condensor one goes to the coil and the other goes to a ground switch thats most of the time on the throotle linkage,if that wire is grounded against metal there will be not spark . the gap between coil and flywheel is 10 thousands (you can use an index card to set it .

Engine will not start
Hi disconect all wires going to the coil that feeds the plug ( oil switch & stop switch.
With plug grounded turn engine over to see does the plug spark.
If not try again with new plug.
If it still does not spark replace the coil unit as it either has a faulty coil lead or coil itself is faulty.
