This may not be the right place, but it's worth a try. Kohler K301 12 hp on my gravely mower - no spark. Sometimes I can make it run for a few minutes, but not often. Points look good, new condensor, coil primary resistance 3.5 ohms, secondary 6.9K. Battery up to snuff. Plug gapped ok.
I can rotate crank to open points position, with the condensor removed from ground, and use a jumper to ground from the condensor case, when popping the ground jumper, should get good spark across plug - nothing. Reinstall condensor, close points, switch on, and pop the points opem with a screw driver, might get one or two good sparks then nil. Is this a bad coil? Any suggestions?
