27 years of service for an ignition coil is close to amazing. Recent machines using magneto-type ignition systems are doing well if their Chinese-made coils last a couple of seasons.
I'm pretty sure that is what has failed in your Toro and I hope you can get a replacement from really old stock so you aren't doing this again in a couple of years.
A tip: Use something to measure the gap between the magnets of the rotor and the core of the current ignition coil before you remove it and set the gap the same for the new one.
Some setups are fussy about that gap.

First thing you need to do remove spark plug wire.. Then I would go to the website for Toro have the serial number ready there you will see the full picture of the way it is then go from there that's the best way with out seeing it. Good luck
Hi steve16092...
You may have MAJOR damage to your motor because of overfilling the oil.
Sometimes you can bend or break a piston rod when the engine is overfilled.
Meanwhile you can check a few other things.
Take your plug out and ground it against the head of the engine with the spark wire attached to it.
You should get a bright blue spark, if not then check your ignition module, it may be faulty.
If you have spark, then try putting a little bit of lighter fluid/or gasoline in the cylinder and reinstall the plug and try to crank it...if it cranks, then you may need to clean/rebuild your carburetor.
Please take time to rate me
pull your spark plug and see if it will pull then, if so then it is hydro locked with fuel which can be caused y a bad fuel cap, not venting or a stuck open needle in carb causing gas to flood cylinder
check your oil is it up to full, then I would check to see if you have compresson, pull your plug and roll over and feel with finger ,but don't touch spark plug wire or you will light up! next I would check for spark, then for fuel, make sure the carb is getting fuel,,,check your hoses and fuel cap and clean your carb and needle/seat and make sure gas will run through the fuel line. Also you could have sheared a flywheel key
the choke out you are talking about could of been a lean condition and smoked the eng rings Good Luck compresson test should tell all 2StrokeJim
Try replacing the fuel and spark plug. Gas may be bad. Get some fresh from the station not from the can sitting in the garage. Drain the fuel system and put the fresh gas in. HTH Good Day.
You will need to disassemble the carburetor and spray
with carb.cleaner. Use a Den Tek Brush, (http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152), to clean the small portals and/or the jet in carb. These portals can become blocked. Replace the diaphragm as well. Reassemble and start.
Could be magneto bad, wire from magneto bad, ground on magneto bad, or the clearance between the flywheel and the magneto is rusted up if it was outside. Clean flywheel with sandpaper and set magneto gap using a match book flap.
