Product Description
691656 Starter Solinoid, single poll
Please note - starter solenoids are generally originally provided by the equipment manufacturer not Briggs and Stratton
This is a fairly universal soleniod that fits most applications however, if you wish to replace the original exactly, a replacement would need to be obtained through the equipment (mower etc.) manufacturer

Briggs & Stratton solenoid
Briggs & Stratton engines are very common on a variety of machines like generators, mowers and go karts. Over time components of the engine will wear out and you will need to replace them; a common part that will burn up contacts is the solenoid. The solenoid takes electricity from the battery and converts it to the amount needed for the starter on the Briggs & Stratton engine. The solenoid will be mounted on the frame of the machine between the battery and the starter.

Step 1
Disconnect the red positive battery cable from the battery using the proper sized socket. This will prevent you from being shocked while working on the solenoid.

Step 2
Pull the two electrode wires off the solenoid prongs.

Step 3
Unscrew the two wires tightened onto bolts protruding from the solenoid, using the correct sized socket.
Step 4
Unscrew the four bolts that hold the solenoid on to the frame of the machine, using the proper sized socket.
The solenoid on a Briggs and Stratton engine acts as a fuse between the ignition switch and the engine starter. When the key is in the ON position, the electrical current flows to the solenoid and then on to the starter on the engine. If the solenoid becomes damaged, the engine will no longer turn over. Testing the solenoid is the first step in troubleshooting an engine that will not start. Knowledge of engine theory will help in this procedure,which will take 15 minutes to complete.

Step 1
Place the engine on a hard, flat surface. To locate the solenoid on the engine, follow the positive (red) wire coming from the battery; it will lead into the solenoid.

Step 2
Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. Clean any corrosion off the battery terminals. Turn the key to the ON position and turn on the voltmeter. Place the negative lead from the voltmeter to the negative post on the battery. Place the positive lead (red) lead to the post on the solenoid that has the positive lead screwed on to it. Check the reading on the voltmeter; the reading should be 12 volts. If there is no voltage, tighten the bolt on the positive cable on the battery; tighten the nut on the solenoid.

Step 3
Keep the negative lead from the voltmeter connected to the negative battery post. Place the positive lead from the voltmeter to the other post on the solenoid. Turn the key to the OFF position and then turn it to the ON position, while checking the voltmeter. If the voltmeter reads 12-volts while in the ON position and no voltage in the OFF position the solenoid is not defective. If no voltage is present in both the ON and OFF position, the solenoid is defective.
