I suspected that since there was no evidence of one in the coil wiring. I'm thinking the mouse urine permeated the coil and trashed the internal diode. The other one is brand new so I'm sure it's fine. I'm going with this set...
EXCACTLY what I needed. Unfortunately, I only have 1N5401 diodes in my kit. Keeping in mind how long I've spent on this issue so far, I'm buying new coils instead of cutting in the diodes. I'm not a fan of Disney anyway so I won't be Mickey Mousing this one. Amazon has a few coil sets with 4.5...
Thank you! I had an idea that the diode might have something to do with it when I looked at the wiring diagram. I wasn't aware there was one in the harness. I removed what was chewed and replaced it with plain wire. I don't have a repair manual. By any chance does it give the specs on the diode...
I have an older model L130 John Deere with a Kohler engine. I have been all though it and it comes down to this. If I connect the kill cable to both of the coils, I get no spark. Remove either connector and I get a good strong spark. If they are connected together, there is no spark. Even if I...
