Bought a 2" pump from TSC 3 years ago on sale. The motor is a "Red Lion" motor. Which is the Chinkytown version of a Honda motor. Last fall it started running funky and starting hard. Didn't do anything with it last fall. This pump has been used a LOT since I bought it, just for your information and I would consider the life I got out of the ignition satisfactory. Dragged it out this spring and did the obligatory clean gas tank/carb/new spark plug/check valve clearence/kill switch/spark plug wire/plug cap routine and it still doesn't work right. So I pulled the coil off today. Some outfit in the midwest is supposed to be the supplier for these pumps. Guess I'll give em a call monday and see if they are any good at supplying simple parts like coils. If they give me a hard time about the part, I'll just go buy a Honda coil and be done with it. Used to keep those coils in stock when I was in the small engine business, but of course, I no longer have one around. I'll keep you posted.
