I understand that. Revb had said to check the actual plug wire. Out of curiosity, what is that piece of equipment called?

The coil ohms at 18.6k from the plug boot to the body of the coil. Is there another way to test it?

while the engine is cool, the coil ohms at

But if anyone can point me to a Chinese coil that would work, I would be greatful!

Well turns out it's a weak spark. I let the mower cool off and tested the spark again. So it is indeed a bad coil. I appreciate all of you guys!

And I have fuel. As soon as I wouldn't start back up, I opened the drain on the bowl, and it was full of fuel.

Well, I tested for spark, and I have spark. Engine gets hot and it dies. Will not start back up. Not sure if it is a strong or weak spark, but seems sufficient.

I completely understand. I usually break it down for people, OEM is $$$$ China is $. I typically leave it up to the customer. But I am still pretty green with all of this. Better than average, but still green. In my opinion anyway. I appreciate the help!

Would you just pull the plug , ground to the block, and turn over the engine? My only experience so far with testing coils is with the ohm meter.

It is a kawasaki code fc290v-gs10 Engine number fc290va13653

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your psychic powers! I will update my post this evening with the engine numbers!

I am currently working on a john deere gx75. It has a 9hp kawasaki. The internet and the JD parts guy tells me there is a igniter in the electrical system. But for the life of me, I cannot find it. Traced the wires and everything. But in the diagram on the internet, is different than what I am...
