How do I change points to electronic ignition on a 5 hp briggs & stratton small engine?
O-Boy !! The engine has electronic ignition. *** NO POINTS ***
My Chilton book shows that it has electronic ignition ( no points )
Unless it has a diesel engine, yes it has points (could be electronic) and spark plugs.
yes
Absolutely.
You look under the distributor cap.
My 73 Bonneville has points type ignition. The later years had electronic ignition distributors, which had .045 or more gap. If you're engine is points type, the gap is .035.
The distributor cap and rotor are located on top of the engine in back. Points haven't been used for 35 years, it's all electronic now.
You would have to go back to 1974 (and older ) to find a Ford F-150 with points in the distributor . Depending on which engine it was , either points or electronic was available starting in 1974
It would have electronic ignition, no points.
Set the points for 30 degrees dwell. 1988 305 has electronic ignition.NO POINTS.last year for points was 1974
