For a newer machine it has some nice classic styling. Definitely a beutiful machine.

When you think about it he picked the best of both worlds, new and old, awesome and usable.

Thanks for posting the picture of my White GT 2055. Thanks guys for your input!

You're welcome Wayne. We are always happy to comment on such a nice machine.

Help! Can't get a strong spark on my Briggs 16hp any suggestions.

well what have u tried tried starting it with the kill wire disconnected regapped the coil changed plugs

This is what I've done so far: Changed and gapped plug, Reset the points, put in a new condenser, bought a new Magnatron arrmature and properly set the air gap to 10-14 thousandths, checked the key on the flywheel to see if it had partially sheared, tore the starter down and cleaned the armature and checked the brushes. Still only a weak spark. I'm wondering about the wiring from the ignition switch. When I bought the tractor the wiring was all screwed up so I wired it the way I thought it should be. They had eliminated all the safety switches so I had to do my best without a wiring diagram. That's what I've done so far! Can you suggest anything else?

The one other thing is to lightly file the points then reset they may just be dirty

It is my understanding that if you have replaced the regular magneto with a Magnatron that the points really no longer contribute to the creation of the spark. The Magnatron is an electronic ignition that replaces the points and condenser. Is this correct?

oops sorry didnt knwo we were dealing with a points motor lol but yeah what he said lol

maybe if I can get a wiring diagram I can trace through the wiring to see if something is grounding. Could that be a possibility?

well only way to kill a points is to kill the power to the coil by turning it off did u get the right coil ??? the std automotive coils wont work u need a transitored or resitored coil or something like that i cant reacall what it is exactly

most all of the old automotive coils were only 6volt input, they ha a resistive wire powering them.
