Sixteen year old Kawasaki FH580V acting up when engaging electric PTO switch, narrowed it down to the coil/spark plug on the left side cylinder when viewed from rear of engine. Should I replace both coils at once as they both have the same age and hours(582) or just the one causing problems. Don't want to cheap out, but don't want to replace perfectly viable parts?

I'd replace them both and keep the old good one as a spare. Or you could choose to run the old and a new one and when one fails just replace it with the other new one. Win win.

Replace both, but get them from Parts Direct or Jack's Small engine. Avoid Amazon.

Ebay is also good but look for genuine parts.

Just because it fits never means it will work. For air gap spacing, use a simple business card.

Thanks for the advice. I have been using Jack's for most parts purchases but there shipping to my area seems to take an inordinately long time, but for the price, ehh, I guess I can live with it.
