FIRE, WORKS! (I guess a day late for the 4th of July.) I cleaned up my old coils and put them in just like they were using the same business card I used to install the New coils and it started right up. This is the first time I had any indication of combustion and it wasn't little with the...

Thank You. I have had good experience for the most part and very quick service. The threat of negative feedback in a public setting counts for something. Since I had spark, I thought I had a broken key (bad timing) like was suggested in this thread, so I ordered it before I took the flywheel...

ILENGINE, Initially, my printed Dixie Chopper Owner's manual states 0.040" for spark plug gap and I have used that for the last 22 years and engine worked. I have regapped new plugs down to 0.030" over the last few weeks as recommeded earlier in this thread. Star Tech, You are correct in...

The 2 coils are opposite to one another as were the original coils, so that the spark plug lead is on the outer end of the coil (see photo of original coils). To have the spark plug leads in same orientation, the kill tabs on the new coils are upside down, relative to that of the original coils...

StarTech, I disconnected the fuel lines and tried to start it a few times to make sure I wasn't seeing any liquid as I saw before when everything was connected. I added some carb cleaner as I normally do to get the mower started (at least since 1999) and it never even came close to starting...

It was both my local dealer ( the guy who sold it to me and delivered it to me) and the Dixie Chopper Owner's manual (from 1997) that stated 0.040" for the CV22 (I have CV20), but like you, I have not seen this recommendation in any of the Kohler owner's manuals. I thought I was home free, once...

Update: I now have spark (using a spark tester), but now my battery is apparently too old to turn the engine over fast enough to start. I recharged it, but it started raining, so I sharpened the blades. I had the battery charger off only during the blade sharpening and just reconnecting the...

ILENGINE, Thanks for such specific info on the mercury switch. When I reinstalled the cylinder after replacing the starter, I still had the cylinder vertical but I had the switch with the wires coming out of the bottom. So, the switch works when installed as you stated. It was my mistake. I...

StarTech, My manual states that an "Oil Sentry" Switch was optional for my mower. The only diagram of it (if present) shows it a few inches above the oil filter and has 1 connecting tab My Owner's manual states that if present, it would shut down engine or trigger a warning signal, depending...

I have the following mower: Dixie Chopper X2000-50 (bought NEW in June, 1998) Serial No.: 2729402687 Vin: 89-17146 Kohler CV20-65541 Model: CV20S Spec: 65541 Family #: SKH624U1G2RB Disp: 624 cc The problem I'm having is that I have no spark at neither spark plug when engine cranks...
