Gill 0 #1 Posted August 3, 2021 My 414-8 just stopped running. I stopped, shut it off. Got back on, started it then it just died? Replaced the plug and points. Could nit be my seat switch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnymag3 2,565 #2 Posted August 3, 2021 Are you getting spark to plug? Is there gas in it? Check all of the safeties to be sure they are working properly...also be sure PTO is off....other than that It should run 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check through all of the things listed in the above post. I will guess that you lost spark, given the items you changed. Also seems you changed the points, I will guess that you have a battery ignition (automotive style coil). 1 - Do you have power to the "+" side of the coil when the key is in the run position? Without this it will not spark. 2 - New points sometimes have to be cleaned. Open them by hand and run a dollar bill through them a few times.
