came across 2 more annoyances with this mower in its progress.also havent had these 2 problems before on the villiers either.
i guess ive been lucky so far that most of the old mowers electrical systems are usually so dirty and poorly connected that all thats needed is a good clean up of everything and reattaching it all back like new.
not on this one though.
it was getting some spark. only weak and erratic. so i thought RIGHT big clean up time. spent saturday cleaning all the bits.put it back together it seemed a lot better.still wouldnt fire up.so i did the usual ,removed spark plug to check 4 spark.very little and erratic still.
ok time to check a few things. most culprits are the coil so i checked its ohms values. low and behold no reading on the high side.
well that solves that. swapped it for a good one. still weak erratic spark. double checked the newer coil its values seems ok.
cant possibly be the condenser its getting spark?? so i had to remove the magneto housing and the points housing.(not as simple as the victas).
pulled out the condenser and checked it for voltage (nothing).
well i must say ive never had both of these bad in one mower before.
after changing the coil and condenser it ran like its supposed to. yippee.
oh by the way has this site been hacked. a lot of jibberish on the previous posts
