How to wire up my 13.5hp coil & charging system

It could be the battery is just no good. I had mine do that and I took the battery to have it checked and they said it was ok and charged it for me came home started right away but after I turned it off it wouldn't start again so I went and got a new battery and have not had that happen again.

the wires you have are a ground wire a charging wire if you have a charger and the coil plug wire on a short blocked motor you might have a secondary stop wire to

Hello Rodger. I'm George. Try this. Pull the engine cover off and using a 3 x 5 index card to set the gap between the coil and flywheel magnets. Once you do that, try and start the engine. If this doesnt work, locate the wire going to the coil. Pull it off and move it away from the flywheel to keep it from getting cut and start the engine. This will isolate the coil from all of the safety switches that come on today's mowers. If it starts, your coil is good and you have a safety switch that is causing the problem. You will have to choke the engine to get it to stop because the wire you took of the coil is your kill wire. If the engine doesn't start, your coil is bad and needs replaced. Good Luck and Thanks. George

unplug oil senso still no spark un \plug shutoff wire to coil still no spark replace coil

Try this locate your coil / magneto and disconnect the kill "shut off wire " and try to start if it starts your switch may be bad or wire broken..if still no spark using a rubber handled pliers ...Pull your plug wire and place a screwdriver or similar metal piece and in the plug wire now bring the screw driver close to the engine block or Frame if spark it is your plug..if not your coil needs replaced...not a hard job just use a business card to set clearance on your coil..good luck

Belts may not be disengaging. Check tensioing pulley is free to full travel.

It sounds like the pump is seized. Make sure any pressure has been released by pulling the trigger on the gun. Sometimes this will allow you pull the cord. If the pump is seized, a new pump would be in order.

No it doesn't have a decompression system. Sounds like a valve is stuck open. Need model number for more details.
