Congrats Marty. Looks good.
Hey! I was wondering if any of you folks have experienced OEM Kohler ignition coil failure issues. I have a new OEM ignition switch, new complete wiring harness, new voltage regulator, new OEM Kohler coil, condenser, points, coil to points wire. My machine a circa 1970 126 has been running and starting very well since I decided to do a basic electrical restoration..These parts have been on the 126 for maybe two years, but have less that 10hrs of actual run time on them. I was planning on grading my drive and did my normal starting routine, full choke, 1/8th throttle and was expecting it to start within 5 or 6 revolutions of the S/G.. Nada..zip..turns great, no spark..Replaced the plug, checked the coil wire..Tried it again, zip, no spark...At present I know I have 12 volts going to the + side of the coil with the key on.. I checked the OHMs across the + and - terminals of the coil and came up inconclusive..no discernible reading on my multimeter...I was hoping some of you might share a little wisdom..or Cub electrical wizardry with me....Thanks..John
John,
Clean the surface of the new points where they contact each other
I just installed a new set of points and had the same issue, seamed to be a coating on them. A bit of sand paper cleaned them up and had spark

The last two pieces of the puzzle......
The hood and the seat.
They are not different colors, the pics just turned out that way.
Had to get on with it. It is supposed to be windy and wet for about a week.
John,
Make sure all your connections (including ground) are clean.
You might want to check the safety switches too. Not sure right off if they would be causing that problem, but it wouldn't hurt.

John M,
Also with the switch in the start position, check to make sure the lead wire to the coil is live with a continuity light or voltage meter. Sometimes the switch will go bad and will provide power to the coil in the on position but not in the start position.

Three weeks ago we had over a foot of snow. Wednesday I looked at the lawn and thought I might have to mow this weekend. Emergency mower care package delivered. I did get an extra snowblower belt just in case.....
