Do not try to pry off a vintage small engine flywheel with a screwdriver. Aside from being very old, it's made of soft aluminum and damages easily. A two- or three-jaw puller or a specialty tool is best for this procedure. Put the keyway somewhere it won't get lost. more
Before removing the stator, make a note of the bolt indentations. This will help re-assembly. You should be able to tell where the coil was mounted before by the bolt washer marks. [links]
Pull after pull, this old motor showed no sign of spark. It was time to check the points and condenser. On early Tecumseh engines such as the H25, the flywheel needs to be removed to get to the ignition points. more

You can determine this by the color of the wires - either AC volts or DC amps. These wires extend beneath the blower housing and are connected to the stator. For Briggs & Stratton® engines, you can match up the wires and alternator’s configuration with your Alternator Identification Chart. Once you find a match, find the AC/DC setting in the upper right-hand corner. [links]
Note: If you use a key to start your lawn mower, snow blower or outdoor power equipment, the small engine includes an electrical charging system with a battery and alternator.
If your results do not match the specifications, you will need to replace your alternator stator if it is an AC VOLT alternators. For DC Amp alternators, replacing the stator, diode or regulator may be required. Otherwise, please contact a dealer.
If you need assistance in identifying the style of alternator installed on your engine, review the Alternator Specifications (PDF), download your illustrated parts list or contact a Briggs & Stratton dealer or the equipment manufacturer. [links]
If this isn’t an option, follow these instructions on how to test alternators. [links]
