<Li> Magnetron Ignition -- This solid state ignition system introduced by Briggs & Stratton in 1982 eliminated the points and condenser system , the performance of which steadily degraded between required periodic maintenance service . Magnetron was made available for retrofitment to Briggs & Stratton engines made since 1963 . Competitor Tecumseh had made a capacitor discharge ignition setup since 1968 for their cast iron engine models , expanding its availability and making it standard equipment on vertical shaft engines powering lawn mowers in late 1976 , five years before the advent of the Briggs Magnetron . Defunct competitor Clinton Engines commercialized a piezo `` Spark Pump '' ignition without breaker points in the early 1960s . </Li>
