Grab a manual and multi tester and test the resiatance of each ignition component.
Replace the componenets that are not withing spcs

disconnect the kill button. source of many ignition ills.

Alright, this happened with my tractor a few days ago. I bought a new coil and it didnt help, turned out being the wire from the kill switch to the distributer was disfunctional.

tried with the kill swich disconnected thats why i dont understand.
i also put a new spark plug boot on it.

i would go wit the stator i found the most of the time that is what it is but that is my opinion

Hardleydangerous is dead on. You can do a lot of expensive swap and pray work, but that gets expensive quickly. Buy a service manual if you don't have one and check the compenents before replacing them.

Good luck!

I had the no-spark problem recently. The spark plug Boot was worn and not making good contact. I bought a universal type NGK one at the moto-shop for $2.40 plus tax. Fixed! I took the boot off and tested the high tension lead (plug wire) with a spark tester and sure enough I had spark, so that is how I knew it was the boot. The part # was LB05F

ya, i replaced the boot on it. looks justlike the one in the pic.
