Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): ignitor, sectional view, service person

Question
how do you check out the ignitor on a 14.4 hp kawaski motor in my jd 175 hydro lawn tractor

Answer
 Hello Joe:

 Unless you Purchase a Tester or Build One(as I Did) a Non Service Person Cant Test an Ignitor/Trigger Coil. The Triger Coil/Ignitor Replaces the Points Set on Some Engines. Most times When an Engine Loses Spark the Trigger Coil/Ignitor is the Cause. A Coil(without a built in Module) will Rarely go Bad. I Suggest you Take the Trigger Coil/Ignitor to your Local Small Engine Repair Shop and nave them Test it for you. Most Shops Charge $5.00 to do this. You can View a Breakdown of this Engine at this Addy http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Number 175. Then Double Click on your Mower in the Results Section. Then Select the Sectional View. Then Select the Engine. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
