riding mower. Kohler engine single cylinder, I'm pretty sure it's 16 hp and is a little over 50 years old. Last week as I finished mowing (for about one hour) and was going to pull it into the shed, it started missing. I waited a few seconds to see if it would smooth out. It knocked of and wouldn't start. I changed the plug the following day and it started but runs poorly and backfires through the exhaust and sometimes the carb. I have replaced (all at the same time) coil, condenser and points. I feel that I have the gap correct at .020 before changing these parts it would not start with starting fluid which is why I was thinking s spark problem. What are your thoughts? Thank you for you help!
