jnbimplements 1 #1 Posted June 23, 2016 I pulled the shroud off my Kohler engine that's on my Electro 12 and I noticed there is a small electronic device bolted to the block that senses the flywheel and it has two wires coming out of it but the wires are not hooked up to anything. The little device is apprx 1" square and looks like a miniature ignition coil or at least that what it reminds me of. What would this sensor be? Thanks, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irv 115 #2 Posted June 23, 2016 That's the "trigger switch" for the breakerless ignition. If the wires aren't connected to anything, it's probably been converted to points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jnbimplements 1 #3 Posted June 23, 2016 OK Thanks IRV. Yes the engine does have points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,628 #4 Posted June 23, 2016 Take it off and test it if it works it is a $100+ item.....It may have been the coil that died not the trigger leading to the change over of ignition systems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
