Shed 293 #1 Posted August 21, 2019 Any one near the brodheadsville area that is good with the kholer k90? It is on my rj59 I bought the tractor with a non running engine. I had to buy a new carburetor for it because the original carb was so badly pitted inside. But I still can not get it started I checked for spark and I dont have any. I seen the replacement ignition components but they say you need to modify them to fit. Can anyone help me get it running right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,405 #2 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) @Shed Check this site for ignition parts. Coils, points, & condensers that don't need alterations.http://www.psep.biz/store/kohler_engine_parts.htm Make sure that you set the points gap using the static timing meathead, you'll be amazed how much difference it makes. Also down load a free Kohler manual from here, it will help you through the repair. Edited August 21, 2019 by Achto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,121 #3 Posted August 22, 2019 Begin with cleaning the points contacts. Some of those old K90s came with a Bendix coil. That type of coil will most likely be bad because the epoxy they used for manufacturing them cracks over time. Which is also why a new NOS one is probably dead to, even if you could find one. The coil is under the flywheel so if cleaning the points and setting the gap doesn't produce a spark, you should have a look see under the flywheel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
