Last night to go shoot some fish and at around 3800-3900rpms the motor was sparking out of the side around the oil cooler. It only did it under a load not in neutral. what could this be |

Sounds like a skinned spark plug wire to me. Check the rubber bushing that the wire goes through to shield it from the plastic front cowling . Sometimes they slip out and skin the wire |

Yep, plug wire arching on the metal shroud around the head. |

common problem.. get new wires and wrap the shit out of them with electrical tape or slip some poly flow over them |

Did you ever adjust your valves? I'm wondering if this is the cause of your pop you previoulsy posted and vibrations. If it misfired and then not getting a fluid current to spark that cylinder... |

With a spark plug missing by grounding out, it coulda missed a few revolutions, the unburnt fuel got into the exhaust & backfired. |

I'd check the spark plug wires and boot for any signs of chaffing. However with all the rain we have been having lately I have heard this complaint alot, and could also be a probelm with the coil (when it gets wet). Briggs changed their coils about a year ago to a fully sealed one which doesnt seem to have as many problems when they get wet. |
