The coil is under the cowling on top of the motor where the flywheel is.
Sounds like a ignion coil.
No the pull chord will not cause the pull cord to be tight. The coil on the lawn mower will cause the compression to be tight.
you can goto briggsandstratton.com and get a manual for that engine,
On most lawn mowers the coil and the fly wheel are located under the recoil housing or engine shroud.
Is it possible an electrical problem can cause my engine coil to burn on my Mazda 323
Yes.
remove it, get a new one and find out what the gap setting is for the one you replace/ your size engine
Your mower gets it spark from a coil that is under the engine shroud. There is a magnet on the flywheel that with each revolution causes the coil to spark. Possible problems are: 1) There is too much rust on the coil or flywheel to let the current go between the two. Taking them apart and lightly sanding them until you get a clean metal surface usually takes care of this problem. 2) If it is a riding mower, there is a ground wire that shorts out the coils which stops the mower when the key is turned off. If the ignition switch is bad it should cause a no spark issue. Or, the wire could be pinched somewhere and killing the engine. You can remove the spark plug, unplug the small black wire off of the coil and see if it sparks then. If it does then this is your problem. 3) The coil itself could be bad.
A broken coil spring will cause the effected corner of the vehicle to drop. A broken ignition coil will cause the engine to misfire (coil on plug application) or cease to run.
A bad ignition coil will cause your engine not to have any spark. Without any spark the engine cannot start or run.
you turn the little coil of wire on the side.
