A friend was sick of his Talon, he bought a new mower.......... It turned up in my carport this morning.............. Looks good...............he said it worked a bit then couldn't start...... Anyway, no spark... I took the starter off and see a peg was loose ....... took the cover off and could not belive what I saw. The threaded peg, was a coil support..... the coil was rubbing against the flywheel... hence no spark. I cleaned up the coil and flywheel with a wire wheel on the drill. Set the coil air gap to 10th inch.Still o spark, so I disconneted the coil cut out wire, Now a spark..... Put it back together. I had to use vice grips to tighten the coil peg as there was no nut edges on it..... Anyway it started with the electric drill start, and I mowed a bit of the front lawn..... smooth engine, as it didn't look like it has done much work........ It's 19 in cut..... a bit of a monster............... cheers speedy
