Hi folks,...newbie post with an old problem. I have a Scott Bonnar with a Briggs and Stratton 45, it used to run until I stuck it in my son's shed for 3 years or so. It turns over fine and has compression but there is no spark. Through studious reading of this wonderful site I have followed the tips on tracking backwards through the magneto and have arrived at the points behind the flywheel ( which look in remarkably good condition). I have tested the wires for continuity and breakages and they seem fine however, I think my reading of a multimeter shows the capaciter is faulty (I suppose I'd better get to a question). Do the gurus think its a simple matter of changing the points or have I missed something?
I'd just like to say congratulations on a wonderful site, its only through reading the posts and enjoying the restoration journey's of others that I decided to get the old girl out of the shed (I'll get the mower out tomorrow). I intend to restore it and post as I go along but thought I'd get it going first. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong topic or making everyone yawn with "not another one!!!" Hope I can get the pics right. Thanks in advance, cheers! Finbar
