Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftman riding 20.5hp twin turbo no spark., jumper wire, clutch

Question
Curt,
I have already changed to magneto to correct a problem with it cutting out when hot. It runs much better but when i shut it down hot and try to restart it has no spark? I wait and when it cools I can start it right back up with no problems. I have cleaned the carb twice and installed kit. I do remember the ground wire going to magneto was not replaced since it was much longer then the one in the kit.. Should i check it out or do you have any idea?  Thanks!

Hi
Check the ground wire coming from the mag, make sure that it is grounded good. Dose the mower turn over at all when it is hot? It allmost sounds like a safty switch is going out on it! Sometimes that will be the cause! Let me know if it turns over when it is hot! If a safty switch is going out it will not allow the fire to be sent to the plugs! You can bypass that switches by sticking a jumper wire into the socket! There is 3 safty switches on this mower! One under the seat, One for the clutch/break & one for the blade ingauge. Make sure that if you bypass the switch for the blade THAT YOU KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAR FROM UNDER THE DECK!
Let me know what you find! I'm very intrested in this one!
