Hello David:

>>The Stator is the Charging Coil used to Charge the Battery and the Armature/Ign Coil is what Fires the Spark Pug.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.outdoordistributors.com/parts.html and Select the B. Then Select Briggs and Stratton. Then Select Don't have Part Numbers. Then Select the File #25 . Then Select the Folder #252700. **Note: you can Download and Save the Breakdown for your Engine by Selecting the 2nd Icon from the Left at the Top of the PDF page.**
>>The Coil and the Different Stators this Engine can Use are Shown on Page 13 of 17 and the Coil is #333 in the Breakdown.
>>The Following is an Instruction File I Made to Replace the Ign Coil. **Using the Provided Site Addy, Locate the Breakdown for the Engine to Assist you in Doing this Repair if you Require it.**
>>Remove the Ign Module/Coil Lead from the Spark Plug.
>>Remove the Blower Housing (metal engine cover). Under this you will See the Ign Coil (has the Lead to the Plug Attached to it. Unbolt the Ign Coil and Remove the Coil.
>>Use a Section of a Soft Drink Carton (example: a Mt Dew 24 pk Side Panel Cut to 3" x 6".
>>Turn the Flywheel so the Magnet is Facing the Ign Coil and Place the Cardboard Section Between the Ign Coil and the Magnet.
>>Let the Magnet Pull the Ign Coil to the Flywheel and then Tighten the Ign Coil Mounting Bolts.
>>Turn the Flywheel and Pull the Cardboard Panel at the Same Time and Remove the Panel from between the Flywheel and the Ign Coil. Connect the Lead/s to the Ign Coil.
>>Replace the Blower Housing and Any Other Hardware you Removed to Remove the Blower Housing.
>>Attach the Plug Lead to the Spark Plug.
>>Now Start the Engine.
>>Note: The Old Coil May have gad 2 Wires; 1 is Grounded to the Mounting Stud and the Other is the Shut Off Lead. The New Coil May be Internally Grounded and if so will have Only 1 Wire that is Attached to the Shut Off Wire.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
