When putting the new electronic coil on it, do you need the flywheel of the one the new ignition came of, or as long as it fits an the diameter is the same can you use the old flywheel?
You can use an older flywheel, but the magnet on it must look similar to the one on the flywheel of your electronic engine. The very old Briggs engines I will say from the 1950s and early 1960s have a flywheel with 2 separate magnets, that will look different. That flywheel will not fire the electronic ignition. That being said, 805Roadking has used an old Briggs points type coil, and fabri-cobbled it together with a Tecumseh electronic magneto, to make it work with the old 2 magnet style flywheel! Quite inventive, he is.
I would try a 591420 Magnetron ignition, it should fit. Even one of the cheap ones from Chins on ebay should work. The actual Briggs type costs like $50, while the knock off are like $15. Also one from any Briggs 3.5 horse type lawnmower engine should fit also, I interchange them all the time :)
Given the simplicity of the points based system, it's easy enough to service anyway (unless the coil is utterly kaputt), condenser can be replaced, points can be filed and adjusted, doesn't really need replacing, just maintaining... :)
ahhhh... ahhhhmmm... ahhhh... ahhhhmmm... ahhhhmmm ahhhh. did u count how many times u said ahhhh... ahhhmmm... ahhhhh... ahhhm before u posted the video. after abt 50 ahhhhmss... ahhhhs ahhhms that gets real old. might want to WATCH your vids before posting them and count the ahhhhhghmmmms... ahhhhs. makes u sound... ahhhh... ahyhhhmmmmmm
How do you mount and wire the electronic ignition.
I will make a vid, easier than a long explanation, plus it has pictures! :)

I’m having hard time finding a magnetron that fits my 3HP Briggs. Do you have a part number by chance?

Great info
Thanks for watching!

Yes, that is true, if an electronic goes bad, replacement time!
I deal with same issu
On aircrfr engine
Yes, some parts will interchange fine, others won't.

Stop nit picking professor.
