@specialforces2263 If you have a wire coming from under the flywheel, you have a points system and that should attach to the coil somewhere. Hard to say without seeing it....

@More350Power - What would happen if this biz card is not inserted between the ignition coil and the flywheel ???

[More350Power]

@MrMilitantviper There would be no gap between the coil and flywheel, the coil would pull up tight to the flywheel. It would not turn over easy and you wouldnt have spark.

@specialforces2263 there usually are two wires from a coil pack on a points system engine. One wire goes to ground, the other goes up under the flywheel to the ignition points and condenser and sometimes there is a terminal for a kill wire..... hope this helps!

@More350Power thank for the info ;)

@nathanielnzl for the engine to run properly, yes. It keeps the engine from over revving and from stalling when a load is placed against it.

[nathanielnzl]

@More350Power so is it necessary? will the engine run without it? cheers.

A great help. The way I tried wasn't successful. Thanks.

@nathanielnzl That is the governor air vane. When the shroud is on it, the air pushed by the flywheel that not only cools the engine, pushes against the engine to keep it at a constant speed. It also opens up the throttle when the engine bogs down to keep up. Make sense? Some governors are internal on briggs and tecumseh engines and run off of the cam shaft I believe. Thanks for watching!
