Hi I have a Troy bilt lawn mower that was working amazing before one week No problems I left it to sit after cutting my grass as always I came back the following week for my weekly routine of cuttin the grass but this time there was no spark so I tried changing the plug and still no spark then I removed the egnition coil and saw there was a lot of grass on the ground cable so I cleaned that off now when I pull the rope it sometimes makes a loud poping noise I think it’s a back fire or something please help
 
Are the coil legs 1 business card away from the flywheel magnets?
Is the kill wire insulation cracked/torn and you are killing spark? Pull wire off and look for spark.
Other: sheared the flywheel key.
 
Thanks for your reply I appreciate it I actual eye balled the coil legs I can fit a recipe in between so I will definitely be readjusting that I think the kill wire is good but I don’t know what’s you mean by am I killing the spark and I don’t think the fly wheel key is sheared thanks for your reply I’ll let you know tommorow after I adjust the coil legs
 
Kill wire - if insulation is rubbed off, it could be making contact with metal (ground) and killing the spark. So, pull kill wire connector off the coil and then look for spark.
