No Spark

[907]

I was riding around in my 2005 argo avenger for about an hour. Stopped the engine from running for about 20 minutes. Started the engine and found out that the one spark plug wire was not firing to the spark plug. What is causing the no spark? the coil or something else.

How'd you make out with this, are you still in need of help? I'm not sure I understand. No spark at the spark plug, or no spark comming from the coil? I would replace the plug, if your problem still exists, make sure the spark plug wire cap is securely on the wire. Make sure the cap is making a good connection on the spark plug. Check to see if the spark plug wire is damaged. Look for any loose connections at the coil. I hope this helps.

I had this happen once with a briggs v-twin. The wire connected to the two coils has a diode in it, and the diode failed. I replaced the wire, and no problems since.

Yep, some what common problem with them Briggs

Does anyone know the diode size to replace it?
Nice to have an extra!

Looks like it is compatible with these horizontals and about 100+ other B&S models, but always double check.
