Honda GCV 160 Troy-Bilt Lawn Mower Died While Mowing

For most applications unplugging the kill wire and then not having spark with a known good plug is a bad ignition module. But for Honda testing you should have 1.0-1.2 ohms on the primary winding and 10-12.8 Kohms on the secondary winding. But I would of disconnected the kill wire tested for spark, NO spark the module would of been removed and hit the nearest trash can. No further testing required.

Howdy. The new module arrived today. I installed it and the mower started with the first pull. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Now I have to mow the *&%$ lawn.
