Tried those steps first... should have said that... it didn't start-still no spark---the gap was off on the magneto--fixed now. So I replaced the key switch--there is a ground inside of it that I...

Ok-I changed the gap on the magnet (your right it was wrong), and put a new keyswitch. I went to crank it over and blew the fuse immediately! Put a new fuse in after I checked the back of the switch...

Thanks KISS! I did use a folded dollar... I have a gauge---I honestly didn't use it for this... I will tomorrow.
I am 100% sure I put it together right... not hard to mess up with only 2 bolts. The...

I did that way back when KISS told me to. I have repeated that several times since replacing the ig coil. I even tried taking the kill wire complete out--nothing! I did test the new ig mod for...

How do I flip the magnet? I did buy the exact magneto (ignition mod) that was on it--I tested all of it for continuity. I still have no spark. Kholer suggested a bad wire somewhere... finding it is...

k, found either a ground-or the magneto kill wire-pulled it mower wouldn't crank-so it must be good--if it is the right wire (it was the top of the 2-2-1) at the 1 spot.

I found that this...

Thanks! I will go out and try this now. I know when I pull the kill wire off the magneto it still cranks the same way... maybe he put the wrong connectors back in the ignition when he 'fixed it' I...

Here is the ignition wire list that comes all the way up according to the diagram from kohler... of my motor. This says that the kill wire off the magneto should run all the way here, yet mine stops...

It has an ignition and magneto... I don't thnk it has pts etc... I have the manuel open on a different page... the check list it has there I have covered a few times. I replaced the magneto today......

I picked up the ignition module (coil) and popped it in--STILL NO SPARK! I can't even believe it. I am at a loss of what to try. I am afraid I might have to pull the fly wheel- unless someone knows...

I am waiting to get the part in--so I am not 100% sure yet- It was difficult finding a magneto for it! I spent hours looking online. Sears didn't have it available on the website-I didn't look...

OK, I pulled off the safety's one at a time... each time it made it so it wouldn't crank-had nothing, so that tells me those are all working. I pulled the kill wire off and it cranks still...
...

Thought I would throw in my model number 917257660 craftsman command 15.5 kohler number is cv15s the serial is 2405609214 the diagram I found is at kohler's webpage. Thanks again. Alison

Ohh, forgot to mention I did find a manuel for the motor the green wire I keep talking about is there--says it can be one of 2 colors--mine is green, it's on the ignition module.

Not 100% sure,...

eeseely,
Thanks, I pulled the carb today--bowl had crap in it... sprayed down the carb and let it all run out, looked good after that. I checked for spark again... didn't have any yesterday... still...

The mower cranks, and cranks... will not start. I tested the sparkplug, had no spark, so I replaced it with a gold/plat plug (upgrade from standard). I put in a new ground, in case the other is...
