    That was an excellent video. I learned a few things about troubleshooting lawn mower engines.
    That's always been a weakness of mine. Thanks for sharing.

    Got the same reading on my ohm meter. But being the persistent soul that I am, I followed up and found corrosion between the end of the wire and the cap on the spark plugs. Took it apart, cleaned up the contact, put it back together, got good readings. Started on the first pull.

    I know about all the “cheating ways” to gap the coil, but you need to gap it per the spec and with a feeler gauge. The long bladed ones are nice for this job. If not you could end up wasting money on a coil when it was just out of adjustment. See way too many home brewed ways to do things and more times than not they are incorrect or adjusted incorrectly; folks get mad when I charge them for something they supposedly did already but it was wrong. Trying to help and save someone some $$$$$ Good job Kevin.

    So I'm in the same situation as it's time to be splitting wood and my wood splitter is similar to yours with the 6.0 B&S . It started right up in May and worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then, one day, no spark. I get a new spark plug....still no spark. I order a new coil since I'm over a 100+ mile round trip and wait for it. It came today. I followed the whole process of installing it. Still no spark. I tested the old coil and the new coil with my meter....no resistance readings on either coil. Bottom line is I'm stuck in the Alaskan Bush with no wood splitter.....ugh. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Your engine and this video are the closest I've found to my problem and I failed to get that satisfying ROAR at the end.

  • @nickybritain4900

    I use 3 or 4 thicknesses of newspaper for the coil gap. Also use the magnet on the flywheel to hold the coil in place whilst tightening the bolts.

  • @markluxton3402
    @markluxton3402 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had to stop the video at 3:55, to post, because you said it was the coil...could be, but the tests you did at this point, have not ruled out a bad spark plug. You can test the spark plug with your meter as well.
    I made my own spark tester. I soldered a wire to the body of a good plug and added a clip to the other end. I then broke off the tab at the end of my test plug, making a much wider gap. The idea is that a spark plug can look like it has a good spark when, testing using the old method of removing the plug, connecting it, and laying it against grounded metal. I heard that it is harder to make a good spark when installed in the piston chamber and under pressure, etc.. In any case, the wide gap of my tester rules these things out, since if I get a spark, it must be a good strong one. To use my tester, I do not have to, but usually remove the installed spark plug, so the engine will spin easily and fast, and has no chance of starting. I connect the coil lead to my tester spark plug, positioning it so I can see the spark. I hook the ground wire from my tester to bare metal on the mower, and pull. My tester rules out a bad plug and/or shows the plug is the issue. FYI
    Back to watching...have a mower with no spark, doing some homework before further testing ;-)

    All it needed was a little spark, that would have cost you a couple hundred if you didn't have the knowledge. Growing up we would ride our bikes to the dump when we needed parts for our go carts. It was a great way to learn. Great info Kevin, thanks for sharing, be well my friend.

    have tested it and the reading is 6.2K Ohms - is this reading too high
    for this machine please?
