Hi - just joined.
I bought a Honda 10 horsepower used - ran fine for awhile. Then increasing problems getting it to start. Put new plug on end of wire, held against head bolt and pulled cord - no spark.
Problem #1 - not sure what model it is. The ID plate has been painted over several times and when I scraped it off I couldn't find any markings at all. The motor looks just like photos I have seen of old BF100's - except no CDI. It does have a set of breaker points and condensor under the rubber cover on the cam pulley. How can I confirm the model / year?
If the coil is the problem, will a coil for a CDI equipped motor work? I'm having trouble finding a replacement. Or is there a way to covert mine to CDI - or what??????
TIA
BC
