I have this mower that the starter & battery are shot. I removed the starter ,, Battery &key switch Now I'm not getting any spark. Is ther a way I can rewire it to get spark?
I could get it to start before i removed all the stuff .Now it won't start . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Somewhere your kill wire is being grounded. May be this manual will help. Not your unit but who knows. I’ll try to find a diagram for your unit.

Thanks That's what I was thinking but I cut the wires & I just have 3 loose ends .

Tried to post a picture but it keeps saying it's too large I'll try again

Here's what I have Thanks

Best way to find the problem is to remove the shroud and see which wire is attached to the coil wire. This wire should only be connecting to ground when you want to shut off the engine. On that engine it is probably going to the brake assembly, which when you release the brake bail will ground the coil.

Thanks I’ll check it

I removed the shroud to see where the ground wire goes. There is also another unit which I guess is the brake . The wire for that isn't connected to anything. There are 2 wires that came from the battery that go near where the kill wire is. Do I have to eliminate them to get spark ? Thanks again Here are a couple pictures

The part you have pictured is the alternator. Coil with the kill wire is 180 degrees across the flywheel.

So I can do away with the alternator because I'm not using the battery. I hooked the 2 heavy black wires together & I got spark sometimes, I'm going to replace
the coli & see if it makes it better thanks for the info
