Thanks, the old “trial and error!” At times I seek the “true path” into the unknown, but have not discovered it yet.

Is there a way using multimeter to determine whether or not ignition coil is working? And to determine if the coil is producing the energy to start the mower. Craftsman 917.986450 26hp 54” with Kohler KT 745-3012?

Thank You! I did as you recommended. As I was searching for carb solenoid I found the lead wires e pinched between two pieces of metal shrouding. Corrected that issue. Key turned no blown fuse. Eventually rebooked carb solenoid and stator with no blown fuse. Decided to start the mower. It...
