Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): hard to start dixon, switch problem, safety problem


Question
i have a ztr 50 dixon mower with a kawasaki 190 motor ,it won,t start most times  new plugs then okay for a short time,but it has little spark when mechanic tested it,starter ok battery new,could it be ignition switches,just little spark from plugs??

Answer
This is something I haven't ever heard of, I really don't know anything about a dixon, but it sounds like an ignition or safety switch problem. Have you tried disconnecting the gound wire from the coils and then testing the spark? If this makes the spark improve then it is safety problem.
