I have been having trouble getting my motor started. It takes a lot of pulling for me to get it running(6-20+ pulls). Last season I went through the carb & replaced the cracked gas lines, reset the float bowl & replaced the impeller.
Once I get it running it runs fine, but at really low idle it will also die on me. A friend suggested that I inspect what I am calling the points, thinking that maybe I am not getting a strong spark. I am not sure if this is the problem or not but I looked at the points and they were in really rough shape. Now I am looking to replace the points but am not exactly sure what I am looking for. i have found some parts places on the internet that have pictures(www.dougrussell.com), but the picture is grainey so I am not exactly sure. I think they are calling the entire assembly a high speed coil. I was hoping that I could just replace the little connector points, but can't seem to find them on the parts list. Does anybody have any insight for me.
Thanks
