Hi
Thanks for letting me join your forum first of all.
Now my query.
My Westwood mower has a 14.5HP BS 28 series engine. The other day it would not start but turns over fine. After checking I found there was no spark at the plug. So delving deeper I have found that if I disconnect the thin grey wire that goes to the Armature/magneto it starts and runs fine. As soon as I reconnect it fails to start. Not sure what this wire is doing and should it have 12volts on it with the ignition turned off? Seems odd it runs with it disconnected. Any thoughts on this?
Regards
