Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Riding lawnmower wiring, craftsman riding mower, electrical problem

Question
I have an electrical problem. I have a craftsman
riding mower about 3-4 years old. It would not
start. I checked the solenoid (replaced it) and
that was not the problem. This solenoid has two
terminals on it so it is not externally grounded.
I can get it to turn over when I connect a ground
to the other terminal but I have no power to the
coil therefore no spark.
1. Does the coil have voltage to it when the switch is on.
Also all the switches (clutch,seat,blade)has been
disconnected/bypassed.
What I really need is a wiring diagram.
Do you know where I can get a wiring diagram?


Answer
Hi Danny,

Sorry, I don't know where you can get a diagram.  
The coil usually has a lead that is used to kill the spark.  If the coil wires are intact and connected properly but no spark, I would replace the coil.

Let me know how you make out.
