I have disassembled 1975 horizontal shaft Briggs (Gilson snow blower) and found that points and condenser have wires cut. Old man that sold me the motor ensure that last year he checked and the motor fired. I took it as granted, didn't check. So now the situation...
I tried to identify if the coil was changed previously so no need in condenser but heck don't know the difference - I've posted some pictures, what is the difference between old style coil and new, if any?
As well I guess condenser won't bother if it work. But there are no wires. Many posts explain how to clean and how to adjust points, but nobody show the wires. I understand there are 2 wires: one is ground, another is not. but where to attach to points/condenser and where to coil.
And one more thing, while it's open, how to check condenser using multimeter? Assembled motor use cylinder head screws to hold the casing... I don't want to tight/untight cylinder head checking if all work properly. Very uncomfortable.
