Igniter
The igniter consists of transistorized circuitry that con-
trols the firing sequence of the spark plug in conjunction
with the ignition coil. Mounted on the engine block, the
igniter casing is grounded directly to the engine. A single
black wire makes a circuit from the igniter to the primary
of the ignition coil.
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine
is OFF.
2. Remove black wire from the bottom of the igniter.
3. Use a digital multimeter set to the ohms scale; take
internal resistance of the igniter.
A. Contact black (–) test lead to the igniter mount-
ing screw (ground).
B. Contact red (+) test lead to the terminal from
which the black wire was removed.
C. The internal resistance should be about 7.8 to
8.1 KΩ.
4. If the internal resistance value is not within specifi-
cation, replace old igniter with a new one. Reconnect
black lead.
A. Try starting the engine.
B. If the engine does not start, replace the ignition
coil.

5. If the internal resistance value is within specifica-
tion, test the ignition coil.
