Why use a Darlington pair of transistors?
Why not just use one transistor?
That coil from Amazon doesn't have the stub out for the air diverter
what coil do I need for a 80302-933128 B/S engine to make it Electronic Ignition ?
What transistor??? How will it work? Do you have a how to link or video? Thx
It was every bit as easy as you said. $15 and 15 minutes from non-running to running snowblower. Terrific hack! Thanks.
Great to hear!
The process seems straight forward the difficult part is understanding a replacement at the store. The parts guys want to give you original points coil. How do you find a conversion part. Websites don’t give you this info either. Just original parts.
Buy any coil that fits the flywheel, either offseas or online. Dont bother really with briggs service,
You could mention that the electronic ignition coil has an exciter coil. It's the small iron circular object. Attached to it is a darlington transistor that energizes the coil and spark plug.
You know when your life sucks when you are sitting here with your popcorn waiting for you to start that Briggs.
Coming soon!
Some become prime minister to help people... you're accomplishing the same by making our lives work better!
I’ve been following your channel for a while now and I just wanted to say thank you cos your content has really helped me out a lot doing my own repairs at home even though I have no experience working with engines.
So thank you very much Steve for all your content it’s always helpful and easy to follow,your my go to guy on RUclips for engine repairs and you never let me dawn so thanks again really appreciate the time you take to do these videos ✌️❤️
Happy to help!
Best thing I ever did subbing to this channel,don’t tell my wife.Stay safe,and thanks for the advice,really appreciate your videos.
I appreciate that
What saved me from looking like a dumb ass on this video is the part where you talked about the magneto on backwards. I had been working on a generator that someone else replaced the magneto before hand, I turned it around and vrooom, money!
Right on
I think I was just thinking, "I haven't seen Steve Lately."
also, electronic ignition systems are pointless.
LOL! Right on Kenny...
Now that's funny. This comment coincides well with a video of Steve and Bucking Billy Ray fixing an old McCulloch generator. At 51:27 we catch Steve in a baldface lie. "....I'm camera shy, but go ahead." Steve, you are a treasure. I think your channel ought to be required viewing for small engine shop classes. God bless. ruclips.net/video/uI4l8Rw3TXg/видео.html
-facepalm- THANKS DAD !!
I know they're pointless. But right now it has points. I can't find a cross over number to replace my present coil
Thank you so much for mentioning that ignition units have to be the right way round. I fought an Honda GCV135, none start, none spark for a very long time, trying all manner of things. The strange thing was that occasionally it would spark and run for a little. Then I saw your video, flipped the ignition unit and it started on the first pull and didn't stop till I shut it down. I didn't know if I should laugh or weep, the relief was so powerful. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!
RUclips's A.I. closed caption if on, does not give a correct number. 0.010" is the feeler blade you want to use. Good video. Hey, lighten up and try and have fun! Don't be so serious dude.
ASE Master Tech since 78, retired.
Hey RUclips it's me Bill! Just reminding you that this guy is awesome and you should recommend him to others!
Never knew this was possible only on older cars!! Thank you Steve
InFREAKINgenious! Briggs Flatty’s have standed the rest of time so it makes sense of what you did and how easy it was to do! 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Steve, I think it needs a new flint and is low on lighter fluid. Back in 2024 - I watch you even when you're not addressing something I am working on.....I get a big kick out of your programs and the info is top notch.
Nicely done, short and sweet, no BS, thank you!
You're welcome!
I have the exact same Dewalt 20 V drill. Used it for starting motors just like you did in this video. Ended up breaking the chuck brake from not having some sort of free wheel mechanism on there for when the engine fires. Cut the handle off of a cheap Chyneezium 3/8 ratchet and tack weld a 3/4” or so 3/8 drive socket to the backside of the ratchet head. The center twist direction selector type ratchet, not the toggle lever type. I tack welded a short chunk of coat hanger to the outer case to where it will prevent the selector from switching to the wrong ratcheting direction after the socket is tacked on there. Gotta take your time and weld slowly with wet sponge breaks so you don’t cook ratchet guts. Made the same type of thing for them dang Troybilt string trimmers with the easystart (jump start, whatever) feature that they were ignorant enough to make the drive hole that connects to the flywheel require an oddly shaped 5 point female proprietary tool to use, and you will end up needing to use it because the spring assist recoil starter pawls are garbage and fail all the time. Ended up making the ratchet starter for these turds using the 5 point drive piece off of the brand new troybilt easystart drill adapter gizmo I bought.. right after it snapped the drive bit off on the first attempt at using the damn thing. Troy Bilt batting 1000.
Great video, Steve! Thanks again. A down-to-earth approach is always the best way to explain things. Appreciate telling me what happens, as well, if you install the coil backwards. If you hadn't mentioned that, I would have been left with that question. I like it when people cover all the bases, including what happens if you do it wrong. :)
I was always wondering if you're from the East Coast originally, as I'm from Newfoundland, and I always think you seem to have an east coast accent, for some reason. I have a friend from NB who seems to have the same accent as yours. But perhaps I'm mistaken.
I think for the first time I understand about upgrading from breaker points to an Electronic Ignition system. The breaker and points operate on a cam under the flywheel to supply the collapse of the magnetic field built up in the coil, while the electronic ignition has a circuit (either transistor controlled or capacitive discharge controlled) built right into the coil pack. I guess this one would be a TCI unit, wouldn't it? CDI seems like it requires a separate box....
@5:37 man that's awesome, so well lit, in focus and close-up. Please don't ever change! Would you do an electronical iginition swap on a Mac 10-10? I would love to actually be able to "see it".
Informative AND entertaining. Steve, I just enjoy listening to you. And learning, that's good too.
I appreciate that!
Thanks Steve! We are enjoying all of your videos, the ones lately with April are extra special, you two make a great team!
Our pleasure!
Thanks Steve! Nice upgrade...and you made it look easy to do!
It was!
Thanks again,Steve! Easy conversation that's more maintenance free.
You bet!
This is getting exciting, I can't wait for the next episode.
Coming soon!
Hi Steve. I've not worked on an engine that old for 30+ years. It was a Briggs that my dad bought in 1965 and still going strong.
I enjoy series like this. Thanks Steve
Awesome , greatest Easy to understands videos , Steve's small engine saloon , thank you !
Glad to help
Hi Steve. I enjoy watching your videos sooooo much. Every time I see one I learn something new. You explain things so well. Hope you keep doing what you are doing. Again thanks so much.
So nice of you
This is just so cool!! Keep em coming Steve and thank you!!
Thanks! Will do!
Welcome back! Thanks for the info.
Thank you too!
Steve like always you and lucky has done it again ..
Este es El mejor canal de small engine thanks Steve
Steve that helped me out big time
I have a 14.5 hp briggs and stratton and replaced the coil but did not know what the gap should be set to
You have a great way of explaining how things work! Keep making videos!
Thank you! Will do!
This is cool I’ve looked for a video like this befor but couldn’t find a good one
Thank You...
I like Steve’s video. However, I found this one the other days before finding Steve’s.
ruclips.net/video/0Q_sBKJUGdw/видео.html
Nice I have a 3.5 hp Briggs on a rotor tiller that’s going to get the same thing I have all the pieces. This is a great video thank you for sharing
You're Welcome...
My man Steve …… giving us gold!! Keep up the great work!
Thank You...
Great Demo Steve I was always curious about electronic replacements now I know! thanks for sharing
Glad to help
Thanks Steve. A nice easy fix. If the parts fit properly.
You're Welcome...
Fantastic lessons.I should never miss them put me in
Another Master Class. Great educational video to get newbie engine tinkerer’s some confidence on how easy some upgrades are.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a Briggs & Stratton 11 Hp Model 253707 Engine that's used on my homemade log splitter. I had to remove the engine's tin shroud and saw a huge mouse nest that filled the entire cavity. When I removed the nest I saw the spark plug wire was completely stripped of insulation. Amazingly the engine did run like that and luckily didn't catch on fire! I ordered a new coil and installed it but it wouldn't run. It was this video that made me flip the coil over and now it is up and running and I'm splitting wood again. The coil had no markings as to which way to position it. I love all of your videos and they are a great help for us DIY. Thanks for the info!
This is a pretty awesome series. Gives you a really good idea of how engines work (air, fuel, spark) and how to restore old ones. I wish I would have had something like this to watch before I started fixing old motorcycles 20 years ago!
Thank you!
I saw another comment that they thought you should be about due for a video , ditto that ! You're killing me I want to see this thing run C'mon !😆
Hopefully in 1 week!

Thanks for this series. I have two old 1970’s tillers I am trying to get going again. Sears & Roebucks Craftsman with 5hp Craftsman, and an MTD with the Briggs. Both the same. I really appreciate your knowledge. You are a pro but also down home to my understanding. I feel like I am there with ya in your shop drinking a beer with ya. Now I just need one of your business cards to make sure my gaps are spot on. 😂
Steve you’re very welcome. Thank you for all the videos and hard work. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Great Video Steve ain't seen one of yours for AGES!
Thanks from London England 👍💪😎
Thanks 👍
This is so cool thanks Steve always learn something new from you videos cheers for Ireland 🇮🇪👌
My pleasure!
I love your videos Steve! I agree with you, those old points and condenser were pretty weathered. Best to all :)
Thanks 👍
Thanks so much for your videos I decided to get rid of the points on the same engine and after doing this I got shocked by the spark and that made my day lol
Thanks for the information,Steve.Appreciate your time.
You're Welcome...
Great job Steve I leaned something today.Thank you for sharing
Excellent!
Brilliant Steve - great video
Thanks 👍
I did this with an old Stihl 031av chainsaw back in 2005 (thanks Arborsite). Worked a treat!!!
WOW. I knew it was that simple but anything I work on usually is broken in the first place... so I've never gotten the chance to try this out. Awesome job, thanks for the information!
You're Welcome...
That business card trick is something an old mentore showed me when I was just a kid, mey he rest in peace, it works fantastic! I've since started useing the Oregon external ignition module and that works mint Aswell! I just did one yesterday on a super 250 mcculloch! I should have filmed it as it worked out great! The saws running but has a leaky Gas tank seal, maybe I'll do a video after all 🤔 lol
Thank you so much for making these videos Steve. You are a hero to the people. Respect from Scandinavia!
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Tillers are so much fun! Mine runs but haven't quite figured out the right foward belt,and I'm too stubborn to take advice,but as long as I have something to bitch about I don't take it out on the old lady.What I'm trying to say is your videos are very helpful and I have to watch them because my friends always bring me their junk to fix and usually down a few while tearing crap apart.
Just what I needed to know love your simple approach Steve keep the good ideas coming 👍
More to come!
Great video Steve. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is definitely the best way to get around taking the flywheel off and dealing with the points and condenser. Those are referred to as pedestals that the coil bolts to and it is a good idea to run a Q-tip down inside of them with isopropyl alcohol before installing the coil. The coil grounds itself through these pedestals so it is a good idea to make sure that the bolts are wire brushed under side of the head and threads as well! I own a chainsaw collection of around 70 saws, And I have seen it before where the coil is nice and clean and you unbolt it and there is oil down inside the pedestals causing a problem with grounding issues.
Will watch latter when at work mate.. hope you and the family are well
Right on Mick! Have a great night...
You have an amazing site. Very informative very useful almost daily. Thanks Steve.
Glad to help
Great job Steve!
Thank You...
Steve, you are a small engine wizard! I've got more work to do now. Cheers from Kentucky with some cold Rolling Rock tonight.
Rock on!
Awesome......watching now....I'll respond at the end. Excited! Thanks for this
............
............
Cheers! I broke one off years ago....I drilled it out lol, and 3hrs later I had another bolt in. Pain in the backside!
Sandpaper point was very very important!
Thanks for that Steve.
Pabst Blue Ribbon cheers🍻🍺🍻
Ps...I've seen folks machines with a 1/16" gap and they wondered why it either didn't fire, or was very sluggish.
Basically what I did to a vintage lawn mower I got a year ago, the only thing I did different was I believe I kept the kill switch wire and didn’t cut it and put quick connect female terminal on it to connect onto the upgraded ignition module. Did end up work and bypassed the points, still wish I watched this prior tho if I had known about this video cause I didn’t sand the terminals and other important parts and just overall hand information I wish I had known and tried before the project. I realize now I truly winged it and must have had luck on my side, I bought a parts mower for $10 and assumed the ignition module would work (thankfully it did) but didn’t think to check the sizing or anything, and by miracle I didn’t put the module upside down. I did however use a business card for the gap 😂
I’ll remember this video for my next restoration with points :)
Hey Steve, always learn something new from you, I watch all your videos keepem comin 🤙
Thanks, will do!
Thanks Steve. Straight to the point!
You're Welcome...
Good informative video
I was kind of hoping that the engine would have been able to run in it’s old state, but oh well. Can’t wait Cheers
Videos like this are golden. Well done from Rome Ga USA
Thank You...
Great video. Good info. Thanks Steve
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the great video Steve! I hope you are well
Thanks, you too!
Nice.. straightforward info. Seems I have the same engine so this video was a relief to find.
Right on
Great video mate well explained
Thanks 👍
Very nice conversion.
Fantastic job, keep it up from Samos Greece.
Thank you! Will do!
I used to use a module to convert the old HK & VK35 Kirby - Techumseh engines to electronic ignition. The old Phelon coils on the VK/HK35s were damn near imortal, and always threw a huge spark. The let down was the carburettors they used wore out quickly, becoming unreliable, and frustrating!
Love learning new things from you.
Thank You...
Hey Steve Justin here from California, been subscribed to the channel for a while now. Great video thanks for the information I picked up a 1956 Sears Roebuck reel mower with a Briggs & Stratton on it that I'm doing up. The things was surprisingly clean inside despite sitting for years with no oil fill cap and open carb.
Very informative thanks for the hack!! Keep the videos coming brother! Much thanks
Awesome, thank you!
love it!! I can't believe I never thought of this before! thank you Steve!
You're Welcome...
I love the not-spending-a-dime approach here. That's how I prefer to fly with stuff like this. And we know you could have done this whole tiller thing in one ten-minute video but that's okay, slow times.
I learned this from Taryl. I am really enjoying these videos.
Steve you got right to the points.
LOL! Thank You...
Great, I just put one on my old 3hp B&S motor. The hard part was finding it since it is a 1980 motor.
It kept sparking after you stoped rotating! Great videos!!
Loved it Nice and clear explanation.
Thank you 🙂
Loving this series
Thank You...
Thanks for your help steve...thumbs up and I subscribed
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
sweet video, thanks for all the new info👍
Any time!
Thanks Steve you're 😊 very easy to follow and thanks again 👍
Very welcome
That was very informative. Thanks, Steve.
You're Welcome...
I did this same upgrade on a 1965 Barracuda I owned way back when. Tune ups were so much easier and cheaper once I made the swap in the distributor. Unfortunately some yahoo ran a stop sign and T-boned me, and that was the end of my beautiful red 'Cuda. Still ran great though even after the wreck.
Excellent video. Thanks
You're Welcome...
👍🏻 Great information as always
Glad you think so!
First thing I did this spring with my old tiller. Worked great. Then clutch quit that's when I found your site and subscribed. Got clutch working but the screws on screen would not fit (too loose) found a couple of self tapping screws and back to tilling. Great Channel
Right on
You saved me a lot of work and money. Thanks 👍
Great to hear!
Bless you for sharing your wisdom with us!!!
Any time!
Nice video series Steve.
Thanks 👍
