I'm not 100% sure but some of these needed a different flywheel when installing electronic ignition on them. Might be something to check into. Was the electronic ignition used before it was rebuilt?
66 landlord reversed polarity??? why neg plug polarity?
i searched and read but still don't have an answer.
1966 2010 landlord 10hp briggs with electronic module replacing points otherwise stock.
i rebuilt my 10hp briggs 243431 since it burned alot of oil. rebuild went very well and included a new 2 leg armature/coil .
no spark at start up. checking plug wire gives a negative polarity..?? ??
i reversed the module polarity(switched wires) and it now has spark and runs great but starts hard.
why did this happen?
does the starter/generator need to be polarized to run a certain direction?
i need to check which direction the motor is running! (clockwise when viewed from sitting (before the rebuild), if i remember correctly)

Did you have a shop do the rebuild or did you do it yourself.
