70's Gilson snowblower -ignition coil and unitrol transmission
Original Message   Jan 2, 2006 5:01 pm
Hi,

I am in need of a new ignition coil for my snowblower with Briggs 7hp motor and have a few questions. I understand that right now I am using a magnetron ignition system with points and condenser. However, I have seen coils advertised as "solid state" that are supposed to be more reliable. Is this something that I can just switch out with my magnetron ignition system, or do I need other parts?

Also, I am going to start working on the transmission tonight but I need a few ideas. When I first got the snowblower, 1st and 2nd gears worked along with reverse. 3rd gear would just slip and not move the blower. Now, I am lucky if 1st gear even works. Please let me know what I should be looking for.

Thanks in advance.
Tom
