So I removed a coil with one ground that attached onto the top of the coil. This new coil (see my pic) has 2 grounds which said it was for my engine. So where does the 2nd ground wire go to? Thanks for any help.
Your engine had been converted to a Magnetron coil. The coil you current got is one for the points and condenser system that the engine originally came with.
Engine was replaced. My father said it was a 8hp but not sure. Original on riding lawnmower was a 7hp. This one looks a lot like the one I took off it which worked for 9yrs, so I hope it works. I guess I'll just connect both wires to the same ground or would it be better to ground both wires separately? Thanks for your help.
