    Honda 3813, intermittent starting trouble
    I have a vintage Honda 3813 that will start right away when cold, but often, later on, it will just crank, but not start. I have considered problems with ignition coil, or maybe bad fuel filter. Can someone tell me where the ignition coil is, and is it easily accessible. Likewise the fuel filter. Also, any other suggestions.
    Thanks

    Trace the fuel line from the tank, and you will find the filter. As far as the coil, remove the blower housing ( top of engine) and you will find the coil.
