Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Very weak fire, spec numbers, flywheel


Question
I have a Honda Harmony lawnmower that will not start.The plug has been changed the spark is very weak.I was thinking of changing the coil.But don't really understand the ignition system

Answer
Hello Chris:

Make Sure the Ign Coil is Gapped at .015in from the Flywheel. If the Coil is Firing the Plug, then Look Elsewhere for the Cause of the Not Starting Problem. What Happens if you Pour a Small Amount of Gas (approx 1oz) Into the Carburetor Throat and Try to Start the Engine?  Check the Flywheel Key and Ensure it is Not Damaged. Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
