Briggs & Stratton 16 HP engine-points actuating rod not moving enough ?

Without having to take apart this engine- can someone please refresh my memory, as to what cam or eccentric actuates the points rod on a Briggs 16 HP engine, vertical cylinder ?

It's in a ' 72 Mont. Ward lawn tractor- it had intermittent then no spark- and the points are not opening/closing enough to run the engine. I've had a 9HP apart before, but that was a LONG time ago-

whatever makes the points actuating rod move in/out appears to be worn to the point the rod barely moves back and forth

also, do they make an electronic conversion to do away with points on this engine ?

thanks

After all that goofing around in my manuals & catalogs, Google again comes through with this simple search... look around here:

WOW- thanks a lot- that's exactly the listing I need and was looking for

question- what's the difference between the "magetron kit" to convert 2-leg to electronic, part number 394970-

and the "armature" 394891

will they both do the same thing, or what ?

The armature is the entire coil assembly, the kit is a small module using the existing magneto coil.

Ring 'm up and make sure they can outfit you on your older model.

Magnatune used to have B&S modules too, it looks like they are 2 stroke outboard applications only now. Try this too:

for another idea.
