Hi All,
I have a Kohler CV16S in a early 00's Simplicity Regent. Typical story - mowed well for ~20 minutes until it got hot, then had issues similar to fuel starvation but, after researching and speaking to a mechanic, the issue seems more electrical in nature. Now it won't start at all (no spark, mechanic confirmed). We tested where the mower was getting juice, and the SAM was getting power in when the key was on "Start" and when cranking, but there was no power coming out of the SAM to the coil. Is this an issue of the SAM going bad or is that to be expected?
If I have to replace the SAM, I've seen online that they're no longer made and that newer ignition systems have the SAM built in. Is that correct, and what part would I have to replace to get this job done right?
Thanks!
