Conclusion of "won't start" last week.

I wouldn't pay the $200 for a new coil so I went to some local small engine repair shops and looked through their used stuff.  One person had a 5 gallon bucket of coils and said I can look for one in it.  Out of all the coils I found one that had the right spacing and the holes looked large enough for the bolts to go through.  After checking it with a meter I took it home and tried it on the engine.  I couldn't adjust it to the right gap so I drilled the holes a small bit larger and had .008" gap.  Put on a new spark plug cable and fired it up.  Just got done mowing the upper yard and it works great.  $22.38 for the coil and plug wire.
