Just a post for thought. I have a small old generator with an 8 horse Briggs and Stratton engine. Hardly ever use it so when I needed it it came as no surprise there was no spark so I cleaned the points and got it running. It sat about 2 months and again no spark. Cleaned points again and used it. Then again the same thing happened again. By this time I was getting tired of pulling the flywheel to clean the points each time it sat for a couple months. The building I keep it in is damp sometimes. This last time of cleaning the points I put a drop of diesel on the points before putting it back together. That was more than a year ago and it has never failed to start on the first or second pull since. It has sat for four or more months at a time and still starts. Ok now everyone can pile on but it has worked for me so far.
