+ melodymaker When I was a young kid, my Dad took me and my middle brother out to pick our family some strawberries at a strawberry patch one time and while we were there I told my Dad I had to pee. We were out in the country and the only people there so my Dad told me " Just pee over there outside the patch and onto that wire ". There was this wire running along the patch about 2 feet above the ground along the outside of the patch so I did what he said. ZAP !!! I jumped about 3 feet off of the ground and once I landed I started yelling all sorts of colorful words that an 8 year old shouldn't be saying. He had me piss on a charged electrical wire meant to keep deer out of the strawberry patch, the shit head. lol. Sure wasn't funny at the time though. Wow !!!

.Hi there, l have a 2 hp Suzuki that is like a new engine, never really used from 89. I just bought it. lt looks like it has an ignition problem. No spark. ....its getting fuel to the carb, but totally no spark. disconnected the stop switch,just in case the fault lied there. No, go. l am scared to start tearing into it. Do you think l need to look at the magneto, points? where the HV wire goes to. l am scared to take apart the pull cord in case its spring-loaded or something. And if l have to take off the flywheel, have l then fucked up the timing. l really am scared to get over my ability but at the same time do not want to pay for a mechanic to look at it. because it will then not be a good buy. Any advice appreciated.

What's going on , when the coil is hooked to the spark plug, but won't fire, or spark, or start. However, if you ground the coil and crank it, it sparks, - good. The old coil wasn't firing, and I replaced it with a new one, and it's not firing too. It can be started with a key, or a pull rope. It's a self propelled walked behind. It will start sometimes with the pull rope. What's up with that?

if it's a magneto it's possible something is shorting out the coil. If it's a regular ignition coil the voltage may be too high.

WVMachinist, I'm guessing that your motor is OHV . If so, then it's the valves that need adjusting. If your motor has a pressure relief valve on the cam then it could be bad and you need to replace the cam . ( It could have both ) . Is your battery good ? Fully charged with enough amps for your motor ? Check all connections . Check grounds . Charging system good ? Whizkid

Make sure battery can spin engine fast enough. 4 Days chasing no spark issue, watched 50 videos, tried everything. Had charger on battery and kill switch disconnected. Put charger in jump mode and nice hot spark. I had been charging battery to 100%, but it was too weak. New battery fixed problem. Found a 300CCA battery to replace 3.5 year old 150 CCA battery. No more issues! I don't remember where I saw that 350 RPM minimum requirement, but only saw/heard it one time.

@JodBronson5 жыл бұрын
*NOTE:* If anyone reading this.... Take the Spark Plug out. This will " alleviate compression " and it will crank easier and less power to crank as well :). Also, your Motor will spin freely and faster. This will make the " Magneto " even stronger (unless bad). But also help you diagnostic even faster and better with your Magneto / Ignition Coil / Armature !!!

got a question for anyone , have the same motor on my mower, stator went out, and someone wired it straight, bypassing diode. put s new stator on and it still want crank. and I do mean stator not starter, stator is under flywheel and keeps battery charged. any help please.
@scottnewland96827 жыл бұрын
Just ran across this video. Not sure if you still need help but here goes anyway. The stator only charges the battery. It has nothing to do with the mower starting and running. If you want to check it and the mower runs, start it up and take the positive cable off of the battery (while it's running). If it keeps running, your stator is working. If it dies, stator is bad. There should be an inline fuse between the stator and the battery as well. Make sure to check that. If your familiar with how to use a multimeter, you can check if any current is coming out of the stator while it's running also. There are videos on how to use the multimeter too.
