What It Is

This is a replacement ignition coil and spark plug kit designed for Briggs & Stratton engines used in MTD, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. It provides the high-voltage spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture, replacing worn or failed ignition components.

Fitment & Compatibility

• OEM Cross-References: Fits Briggs & Stratton part numbers 594626, 594456, 595304, 799650, 795315, 592841, and 595038. Also replaces MTD G1236, CC760ES, and CC760 ignition coils.
• Engine Types: Works with single-cylinder Briggs & Stratton engines (e.g., Intek, Endurance) typically in the 15–26 HP range. Not for twin-cylinder or V-twin engines.
• Physical Check: Measure the original coil mounting hole spacing (center-to-center)—this kit uses a standard 2.75-inch spacing. Confirm spark plug gap is set to 0.030 inches (factory spec for most B&S engines).
• Brand Note: This is an aftermarket kit, not OEM. It matches OEM dimensions but may have slight color or finish differences. Verify your existing coil uses a single-wire connector (not a twin-plug or magneto-style).

Key Things to Know

• Installation Difficulty: Easy for DIYers—requires only a socket wrench, screwdriver, and a feeler gauge. Expect 20–30 minutes.
• Common Gotcha: The air gap between the coil and flywheel must be set to 0.010–0.012 inches using a business card or feeler gauge. Too wide = weak spark.
• Quality: Users report consistent performance for the price, but some note the included spark plug may not last as long as a premium brand (Champion or NGK). Consider keeping your old plug as a backup.
• Compatibility Trap: Some mowers with “Smart Start” or “ReadyStart” systems may require a different coil—check your engine’s service manual for “armature” vs. “magnetron” type.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need a budget-friendly, drop-in replacement for a failing ignition coil on a single-cylinder Briggs & Stratton engine in a MTD, Cub Cadet, or Troy-Bilt mower. It’s a solid value for DIY repairs, but if you want maximum longevity or have a non-standard engine, pay a bit more for an OEM coil.
