Simple test before throwing time and money at this engine. Before opening the engine hook a VOLT meer across the battery and watch the voltage when trying to start the engine. If the battery voltage drops below 10 VDC when the engine stops turning, your battery needs to be replaced.

Please post the model, type and code number from the engine. Also post the part number for the new coil you purchased. It would not be the first time I’ve seen DIY guys get the wrong parts. With the numbers we can check which coil you need.

Thank you

Star, would you share where you found that part number? I looked for over 40 minutes and could not find the number for the older carb. Thank you.

We’ll probably never know!
