Pull the wire off the spark plug and then take a 3/4 inch spark plug wrench and loosen the plug and remove it. Be sure to check the gap on the plug before putting it in, they sometimes get hit when being handle so never put one in without checking the gap first.
The plug gap is 0.020". Use a thin business card for the ignition module gaps--turn the flywheel so that the magnets are under the module poles, insert the card into the gaps, loosen the module screws, and allow the poles to contact the magnets. Tighten the screws, and turn the flywheel somewhat to release the card. Then turn the flywheel one full turn to make sure the gaps don't close further. With a fresh spark plug, the spark should be blue and snappy. Hope this helps!
Remove the left side cover to expose the flywheel and ignition module. Set the module pole gap by turning the flywheel magnets under the module, insert a thin business card into the pole gaps, loosen the module screws to allow the module to contact the magnets. Tighten the screws and turn the flywheel somewhat to remove the card. Turn the flywheel one full turn to make sure the gaps do not close up at any point. Remove the ignition switch wire from the coil connection (not the pole ground), and install a fresh spark plug gapped at 0.020". Try again for spark. If nothing, replace the module. Hope this helps!
Remove the starter mechanism and the left side cover to expose the flywheel and ignition module. If you have little or no spark, try setting the pole gap using a thin business card for a gap gauge. Turn the flywheel magnets under the ignition module poles, insert the card into the gaps, loosen the module screws and allow the poles to contact the magnets. Reset the screws and try for spark. Hope this helps!
Remove the starter assembly and left side cover to expose the flywheel and ignition module after trying a new spark plug gapped at 0.020". Remove the ignition switch wire from the module and try for spark again--if still nothing, use a thin business card for a gap gauge between the flywheel magnets and the module poles. Loosen the mounting screws, let the module contact the magnets through the card, then tighten the screws. Try for spark again--if still nothing, replace the module. Use the above procedure to install the new part. Hope this helps!
Use a thin business card for a module gap gauge. Rotate the flywheel magnets under the ignition module, insert the card into the gap, loosen the module screws and allow it to contact the magnets. Tighten the screws again, and rotate the flywheel to remove the card. Make sure the plug has 0.020" gap. You should have plenty of fire. If not, the flywheel magnets may have gotten weak, or the ignition switch is partially grounded out. Hope this helps!
Start first with a fresh spark plug set at 0.020" gap. Make sure ignition switch is on. If still nothing, remove the cover from the flywheel. Set the ignition module gap by using a thin business card between the module poles and the flywheel magnets. Loosen the mounting screws, let the module contact the magnets, and re-tighten the screws. Turn the flywheel to remove the card, then rotate the flywheel on full turn checking that the gap doesn't close-up any further. Check for spark again--if still nothing, remove the ignition switch wire from the ignition module. Check for spark--if spark now occurs, check the condition of the ignition switch or the connecting wire may be grounding out somewhere in between. If still nothing, replace the ignition module. Hope this helps!
Use 0.020" for the plug gap. If the spark is weak looking, check the ignition module to flywheel magnets gap using a thin business card for a gauge--turn the flywheel magnets under the module, insert the gauge, loosen the module screws to allow the module to clamp to the magnets, the re-tighten the screws. Rotate the flywheel to remove the gauge, then make one complete revolution of the wheel while checking the gap--it should not close up any more than originally set. Recheck for blue, snappy spark. Hope this helps!
A thin business card is just right for setting the gap. Turn the magnets to be under the module poles, loosen the module screws and allow it to stick to the magnets. Tighten the screws, rotate the magnets away and remove the card. If the module is good it should make a snappy blue spark with a new plug. If rotating the flywheel through one revolution causes any core rubbing, the crankshaft may be bent or the flywheel may not be fully seated on the crank shaft. Don't run the engine until this problem is repaired. Hope this helps!
