    Hi,
    I need some numbers to proceed. I have access to Hustler manuals and Honda manuals, but need a place to start looking.
    Peace,

    I have found there is no spark on ether plug when trying to start engine when the battery is 60,65% no lode. When a charger is hooked up in the start mode the engine will start every time. Once engine is started it will continue to start if it does not set to long. Got a new battery starts every time.

    Hi,
    Most Honda engines of this type use a battery-energized coil for each cylinder. Check for good voltage at the coils.
