I have had a troy bilt CS4325 chipper for 10 years. It saw hard use. But it works great. It started leaking oil 4 years ago but I just kept adding oil every 20-30 minutes for 2 years.
Then fall 2023 it started cutting out and wouldnt run for awhile...Looked like a spark issue to me so I went out and just wanted a new one but of course they dont make them anymore so I bought a DR POS that has only one blade....and it dulls fast. grrrrrrr.
So I am trying to get the old troy bilt running again. No good spark today so I took off the cover over the throttle and checked the kill circuit. No issues so I lightly reassembled it and voila! It ran. I want to check the air gap and slap in a new coil but the only place I can see that hiding is under a horizontal cover right under the throttle. The manuals I got with the machine are worthless. Does anyone know where I can go on a forum or ? and find a real manual for a Briggs and Stratton 1150 series engine? If not, I will just take off the cover and see if that is where the coil is hiding over the fly wheel..
