Hi fellow Lawnboy owners. I picked up a push mower model 7268 was running had been sitting for approx 5 years. I removed the carburetor gave it a cleaning reinstalled. Primer bulb was cracked , put a gas mixture into carb, it started. Fresh gas in tank with sea foam added, mower doesn't stay running.
A week later removed the carb again. Checked for spark, no spark. Got the coil, was rusted as well as the fly wheel, took extra fine Emery cloth seems ok. Test coil 4.5 ohms seems ok but ordered a new one. Installed new coil, gapped with credit card, no spark. Removed leads from on/off switch still no spark.
Magnets on fly wheel are working great, although they were rusted, but good now. Can anybody suggest what the problem is?
