Ignition coil

Can a coil marked USE WITH EXTERNAL RESISTER be used on a cub cadet 100 with kohler engine? Thanks.

If you use an external resistor. The original coil was internally resisted.

NOT without using an external resistor.

The dwell period is different on Kohler one-cylinders than the typical automotive engines and some of us believe a genuine Kohler coil gives better point life than subbing an automotive unit.

Others say that's total hogwash.

In either case, the coil you have WILL work, at least for a while, if you use an appropriate ballast resistor with it.

Ih10020:

The original and correct Cub Cadet/Kohler Ignition Coil has an internal resistor to their coils, thus NOTHING else was needed to fire the Kohler K241 Engine.
