No spark - Kohler 10 hp.

2861 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  bwdbrn1
Have a gravely 10a with electronic ignition and Kohler engine (I bought it used 35 years ago-great machine). Started being hard to start but eventually would. Replaced plug and plug wire - starts one week. Next week - no start again - No spark. Replaced coil. Still no spark. Pulled all connectors I could find and re-seated. Not sure how to diagnose further with electronic ignition. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum dgolfnut! We'll see if one of our Gravely guys will jump in who's experienced this problem.
:howdy: Welcome to MLF. 35 years+...should have points and condenser in addition to the coil. I would clean and set the points, possibly replace condenser.
If you're looking to get new points and condenser, or anything else, you can get the parts list here:

:bag: I might of missed the engine parts, is this the correct PDF? :dunno:
My '74 Suburban with an Onan 16 horse acted like it didn't want to start some times, and I traced it down to the connection at the starter that had gotten loose.
