My internet search led me here and hope you guys with all the imperial tools can help me!
My first post but I have a big problem with my Toro 22" Recycler which has completely died.
Pic of the offending "guaranteed to start" mower below.
Pic of the only label I can find (assume its a 20072 model)
These are rare in the UK and parts are scarce but I have had this for around 15 years now and apart from routine stuff ie oil/plug/filter and last year a carb rebuild its been great.
I am fairly comfortable DIY wise and usually manage to fix things when they break....but(so far) not this time.
Used it last week absolutely fine although its been struggling a bit to start when cold...yesterday as dead as a dodo.
Checked as much as I can I think......in the absence of new parts.
Flywheel looks fine...although I havent taken it off....no play turns fine.
Gaps looks fine (business card depth) to coil.
No spark at all even with the kill wire disconnected.
New plug tried
Wire goes open close circuit when operating the handle...so unlikely to be kill switch.
My conclusion is a bad coil but the resistance measurements seem in the right ballpark??
Can anyone tell me if the coil is good or bad based on the measurements in the picture below?
Should the meaurement B-->C not be open circuit? Its giving me 0.4Kohm?
This is the coil
I havent been able to find an original coil here but have believe its a type 34443c ordered this.....assuming it will fit ok

Thanks in advance for any comments!
