Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda HT3813, air gap, coil units

Question
I switched out the long block (old one was dirt washed out)on an HT3813 I obtained. I have no spark at coil. Can't find a wire diagram. Do you know any test procedures for this problem?

Answer
Hi clay

I have found a wiring diagram  for  a vee twin ht3813 honda ride on , it may be the same?

check out this www.tulsaenginewarehouse.com/catalog/honda/charging.pdf

and here is parts web site too

are you sure you connected everything back up correctly?

if not disconncect the kill tab wires at both coils and see if you have spark ?
if so maybe a diode is closed ( these in incased in the kill wire loom going back to the ignition switch  or  a interlock switch is faulty or hooked up incorrectly ?

make sure the magnets are directly under the ignition coil units  if  so is there a air gap of about 0.010 to 0.012 thou


take a look and let me know
