Depending on how old the motor is most are behing the pull start. Once u remove the pull start u will sell a large round drum with a nut in the center. Remove the nut, then remove the drum. Behind it will be the ignition coil,points, and condensor all in one unit.The points will have a cover on them with a clip holding it on. Hope this helps!
Surging is often fixed by replacing the fuel filter. A simple job and most small engine shops will have the part.

I,ll figure u have no idea how the motor works. That,s how I started. The ignition has a coil and points. There is a central contact for the points and coil. U have to connect a ground wire to this point so when the motor is running and u ground that point it kills the motor. Any questions e-mail me!
