Since this is posted under Briggs heading I assume you have a Briggs engine that may need a coil. Can you post the engine numbers? Being this old it either need converting to the Magnetron ignition coil or an ignitor installed as it may be just the point system dying and not the coil itself.
A lot of the older can be converted and you should get a use one from a donor engine but need those engine number to see what might fit your engine's setup.
