I don’t have the tools to do the test light but I did remove the smaller wire from the coil but still had no fire. I’m not wanting to spend any more $ on this mower, just trying to figure out if the coil is dead or, as you have suggested, there’s a short. Is there anyway to completely bypass all...
Craftsman 42” w/KoehlerCommand 16hp OHV model 917271030 stopped in mid mow. Not overheated, Turns over but has no spark. Replaced coil 2021.
attempted solution:
-Reset gap between coil and flywheel
-lightly sanded coil/flywheel magnet
-checked fuse, not blown
Still no spark.
