My 2 year old mower suddenly did not want to start for this new cutting season. My mower has always
performer flawlessly. My mower is great. First start up, engine no go. After checking all possible and getting a not needed wire with a diode, finally the sparking coils were ordered. These coils are not cheap, about $50 each, but the engine began to sing/run. I tried every test for these electrical devices that I could learn. The dealer said replace the coils. The small shop in this town wanted about $310 just for parts. I have not been able to learn any method of testing these coils. I have not been able to determine the cause of these coil failures and why both coils failed. I am unable to open up either coil
to find any open or short cut. I have another Honda powered mower that is going strong for 18 years.
