So after some preventative maint this spring, First cut of the lawn. Just as we were finishing up, The motor died and wouldn't start. Checked gas, and it was mostly empty. Added a few gallons, and it won't start. I gave a shot of starter fluid, still no start. Pulled the sparkplug and it was drenched. Tried a new plug on the lead and... No spark.... Pulled the ground wire off the magneto and No spark. Removed the mag and cleaned off the pickup and flywheel magnet, No Spark. My guess is the Mag coil is bad, there are some teeth marks on the plug lead but it doesn't appear to be leaking. New one is on order, should be here in a few days. Good thing it was reasonably close to the shed. I got this so I wouldn't have to push a mower, thats not working too well.....
