Question
David,
I disconnected yellow wire as you suggested 3/9/09. No help! Motor ran and cut-off same way. Cuts off after running about 3 min first time and about every minute after that.
I disconnected black wire which disconnected on off switch. No Help! Ran and cut-off same way.
Can you provide another solution to my problem?
Thanks,
Mark


Answer
Inside of the spark plug boot there is a slot that a screw driver fits into.  Between high tension lead and this bronze colored screw is a resister, make sure this screw is tight.

Based on what your telling me i believe you have a bad coil.  The way to check this is with an inline spark tester.  you simply place it inline between the spark plug boot and plug and watch it fire.  There should be what i would call intermittent spark.

It sounds like you are looking at a coil/cdi replacement
