thanks for reply.i took the flywheel off and there were no points;so that means it's a magnetron.i did find the kill sw wire and confirmed the it's grounded at the coil.also the wire from the mower seat sw,ign.etc are good.i ordered a magnetron from ebay.I hope I can get the new plug wires in w/o removing the flywheel again and the bottom plate?loc
