Hi, This is an offshoot of my earlier topic titled 'Scott Bonnar and unleaded fuel.' Before I knew what I was doing I purchased a 2nd machine to renovate. I am having problems so i thought I would start a new thread with an appropriate title so interested folk could find the subject easily.
Mower was sold to me as non running - seller said it was running before he left it outside in rain for a month.
I have changed oil, petrol and spark plug; cleaned the flywheel/magneto and armatures (which had a lot of surface rust) but no joy. Looks to me that there is no spark, which is puzzling. I attach photos of the the fly wheel/magneto and the wiring. Sorry about the picture quality - it was getting dark but I'm sure you guys have seen plenty of these.
