Ok all good. Slow steps are good. I managed to score the day of work today so was hoping I would do what I could today. Unfortunately I�m waiting for my pay to come in so I can go down to the Briggs distributor near home to get what I need. I have managed to sort out the head gasket and get the gauze in place. I have checked compression which is good and I have checked spark but have none. So I will get a spark plug on my travels when I get the carby gasket and such. Forgive my innocence or ignorance which ever you prefer 😁 the HT lead and p lead. Are these the ones your talking about that in the photo? The spark plug lead and the single wire that comes of the solenoid?
Also the solenoid I�ve shown in the picture doesn�t look to healthy. Is it ok or needs changing? Or is there a way of testing it?
