JFS 0 #1 Posted January 11, 2012 Who has the best pricing for the ignition coil? Can you get an aftermarket or should you stick with OEM? An thoughts or direction. Thanks Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,333 #2 Posted January 11, 2012 Kohler part number is 41 519 21-S. Cost is about $62.00. NAPA has a replacement SME 701634. It costs about $42.00. I have purchased them online for as little as $17.00 plus shipping. Never had a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFS 0 #3 Posted January 11, 2012 Hi Bob, Thanks for the info and fast reply. Is it pretty much plug and play? Unbolt the old one and in with the new one right? Thank again Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #4 Posted January 11, 2012 yes just bolt in the new one, be sure to hook the wires back up right + and - neg to the points and the cond. on that terminal also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,333 #5 Posted January 11, 2012 Yes. Just be sure that you hook the wires up correctly. 12volt gets hooked to the (+) lug, condenser and points to the (-) lug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illinilefttackle 399 #6 Posted January 12, 2012 Its my understanding-you must get a coil with a resistor built in-so you are not running your points on a full 12 volts all the time. Thanks-Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFS 0 #7 Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for all the info. The part was ordered from local napa for about $34.00 I'll pick it up in the morning and probably install before I go to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
