QuestionB&S engine model 130292, Type 0159.
Are the magneto, coil, and armature all the same part with just a different name? I'd like to replace the coil now on my 5 hp tiller to eliminate the points/condenser set.
I believe I need part #397358. I've seen it referred to as the coil, armature and magneto. Are these all the same thing?
What is involved in replacing this coil? Is it only necessary to remove the present coil, screw the replacement on, adjust the air gap, clip the old coil wires and start the engine?
After attaching the coil are there any particular connections, such as grounding, etc. that must be made?
It seems I have to replace the points/condenser set every year and it would be much better to replace it with the electronic coil. I was about to replace the points/condenser set again this year, but thought maybe I'd replace the coil.
What is the difference between these coils? My 8 hp snowblower has a Megnetron coil. Would this fit on the 5 hp tiller engine? Also, is the Magnetron coil the same as part #397358?
