Hello,
New to the forum and looking for some advice on getting it to start. I was cutting the lawn and the lower just turned off....not like it was out of fuel, but like the kill switch was hit. After it had cooled off I took the recoil cord off to access the coil, replaced it with a brand new one, along with the plug, still does not start, so I tried it with the kill switch disconnected from the magneto, still no go. Upon checking the oil, it was quite low, barely on the stick. Hmm oil pressure switch? I filled it to capacity and still no go. Tried starting fluid in the carb throat and directly into the cylinder....no start, seems to have compression as it pulls differently with the plug in vs. out.
Magneto was installed with a business card as a standoff from the flywheel, which has just been hit with 150 grit sand paper to be sure it was clean.
What next?
Thanks for the advice and direction in advance,
Broken Deere
