Hello everyone. I have a 5 hp side shaft kawasaki that was running good a few days ago. I tryed to start it today but it has stopped firing. the model # FG300 The coil is under the flywheel. I bought a universal electronic ignition module but it still won't fire, could it be the coil? I can't find parts or a manuel for this motor. spec. AS05 296CC MODEL FG300. thanks.

Yes test coil

Thanks for the help. can anyone tell me if a coil can be tested, I don't wont to buy one if I don't need it.

I have a circuit tester. With the circuit tester make sure that You have it turned on to a dial reading that shows You have circuit by touching the Black & Red wires that come from the tester.
Okay Now put the red wire in the wire that leads to the spark plug,touch the black wire to the short wire out of coil, ifyou have circuit Great. Now touch black wire to the long wire or wire that goes to points if You have circuit you have a good coil.
Read Tecumseh HH 60 part about ground,that could be Your problem.
