Is there a way to test any of this, or do I just throw parts at it until it sparks again? Probably doesn't have 10 hours on everything. AaronSEIA [Reply]   [No Email]

If still no spark with kill lead disconnected,check that connection from megafire module to eng block/chassis is clean/tight.After that check flywheel/coil air gap,manual says .010"-.014" or check instructions for megafire unit,air gap may have to be changed,after that goto link below & read instructions for setting flywheel timing as same is adjustable on 243000 series eng. If after disconnecting kill lead,checking megafire ground connection & flywheel timing & you still have no spark,remove coil & take to one/more local mower shops & have them check in a coil tester,if coil tests ok,then problem may be one of the following: 1-Megafire unit bad due to heat/vibration depending on where same mounted on eng/tractor. 2-Flywheel magnets weak,this is a somewhat common problem on these old briggs eng,might try changeing flywheel/coil air gap if magnets the problem,you might be able to get around weak magnets this way. flywheel [Reply]  [No Email]
