8hp Sears riding lawn mower problem!?
i have a riding lawn mower with a Sears 8 hp engine on it...i took the engine off to switch the pulleys around to make it go faster and never messed with any of the electrical stuff ...its a pull start with a on and off switch thats all....5 speed,...and when i had put the engine back on and all together it wouldnt start up...theres no spark..so i switched the plugs still no spark!! any ideas what went wrong? the races are u comeing up soon!
just because its might be flooded doesnt mean it wont spark...i was kinda wondering just now if my spark plug wire needs to be replaced or my magnito went to crap?!! idk
Sounds like maybe you forgot to re-set the proper gap between the magneto pickup & the flywheel. If that's not the problem, then while you've got it apart; check for spark at the magneto. There's not a whole lot of things that can go wrong with that system.
