joegrgraham 30 #1 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Asking for a friend, he has just acquired a Mountfield M1, briggs engine. Could anyone advise on the correct coil for the engine? Engine number in attached photo. Thanks, Joe. Edited February 16, 2018 by joegrgraham Miss spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reiver 14 #2 Posted February 16, 2018 You might be able to find a parts list on the briggs website,armed with the part number for the coil, search ebay for a replacement.Alternatively you would be able to get a genuine replacement from briggsbits they are UK based Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #3 Posted February 16, 2018 Part number should be 298316. Page 15/16 of the Parts Manual which is available to be downloaded (or emailed) along with a User Manual from this B&S Link page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fix'em all 49 #5 Posted February 17, 2018 You may be barking up the wrong tree as it is more likely to be the points need cleaning & failing that the condenser. These are located under the flywheel. His best bet is to get a magnetron from the 3.5hp Black Briggs engines that were fitted to many 16 - 18" mowers that have now rotted away. He can then remove the old Magneto & cut the wires that go under the flywheel & fit the magnetron & never worry about points again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 400 #6 Posted February 17, 2018 Good advice about fitting a later Magnetron coil but the 130902 engine model number suggests a 5 hp engine which, I believe, may have a slightly different spacing between the mounting pillars from the suggested 3.5 HP donor for the coil. Worth checking before buying. The Magnetron equivalent to the original 298316 coil is 397358 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
