Ignition coil failures are one of the most frequent problems I see in Lawn-Boy mowers. As previously stated: Engage bail, remove ground wire from coil, Check contact point between coil and engine block to ensure good clean connection, Check magnets on flywheel, ( you can sand them if you want to, but rust build up won't prevent spark production, spin engine in excess of 300 rpm and check for spark. If no spark then you can bet the coil is bad. I have had great success with the aftermarket coils. I have only had one problem in the 7 or 8 years that I have been using them.

Put an after market coil in, and now have spark. I'm finding that the gas tank shut off valves sure like to leak. My remedy for this was to take the valve off of the tank, grind off both of the pegs that position the seal, grind a slot to give the gas a new pathway, mix up some epoxy and epoxy a 3/4 diameter plug in to where the valve would sit.
