What HV source did you use to fire it?

An antique lawnmower ignition coil.

Here's a pic of it arcing through several xenon flash tubes.

coil looks just like the kind you'd find on a 3.5-8?HP Briggs & Stratton
No, it doesen't. 😉

Briggs stopped using 3-legged ignition coils in 1958, I believe.

But yes, it is a Briggs coil.. engine was from the 40s, IIRC.
