I've ordered a pair from Amazon


I couldn't find any that fit the Vanguard 35hp at that price, but plenty at around £12 to £15 for smaller size B&S engines.  I ended up paying just shy of £42 including delivery for a pair of the 845126 coils, which according to the parts list for my engine number are the correct ones.


Briggs Bits are probably supplying genuine B&S parts, hence higher prices

I bought from Briggs bits and im well sure I payed way more than that. Are Briggs bits expensive suppliers then?

"You need two kill switches if you remove the diode"
Hi, where do the diodes live? Piccie?  :-[



The diode can be seen here just behind the red heat shrink in the clear sleeve

The diodes are usually in the connection wire between the coils, hard to spot, a small swelling in the wire.
It's possible a dual pole to earth type switch could work, you'd only have one physical toggle to use, personally I find the two switch set up easy and it was useful when I had the vanguard engine that used to eat coils, the intek engine is still on the original coils, I do get spark plug failure occasionally, the dual earths help find the faulty plug quickly.

The coil part number in the attachment comes up for Briggs 35hp.

Ive rejigged the video youtube to remove the {{[{ etc and the link now works to Youtube. I can't see water but I CAN see rust. I would use Corrosion X (especially grease on some new coils and PU of new leads. Replace multi connectors with heat shrunk glued crimped connections would be MY approach, to help towards a  reliable Marinised craft?
Other approaches are available! ;)


Someone had taken the other approach and it didn't work put too well  :-X :D


I just need to find a supplier of the coils.  Other bits are ordered and making their way to me.  Hopefully the weather stays settled over the next week or two, so I can get this craft sorted, as on annual leave for a couple of weeks come Friday morning  ;D

General / VHF radio installation
« Last post by Al on Nov 29, 2023, 1:49 pm »
This is mainly aimed at other Marlin 2 owners.

Where have you installed your VHF?  What radio have you used?

I'm curious, as nowhere obvious with easy access and sheltered from the weather to install a VHF.
