Craftsman 6hp 917.388382 Lawnmower new coil, no spark

How long ago are we talking? This mower is about 27 years old? And indeed was talking about even older engines (60's and 70's)

CDI or Hall effects coils started coming out in the mid 70’s and a variety of different sizes and looks. The coils which were used with points and condensers were almost completing gone by the early 80’s. You can still get these coils but they will only work on the specific engine there were designed for.
