Charger 12 has no spark

[Hardy6 0]

Hi I recently got an old charger 12 that had been sitting in a friends backyard for at least 20 years. The engine spins over and the starter works but it has no spark, I’ve been looking online for some solutions but I can’t seem to find any other charger 12s with my ignition setup. It seems to have a sort CDI box but I’m not sure. Does anybody know how this works or any tips on how to test for where the problem is ?

Welcome to the forum.

What is the engine model number, spec number and serial number?

Have a tractor model number and serial? Maybe under the dash panel.

I know 0 about these except they are self-powered so never apply battery voltage to them. That will release the magic smoke.

 

I suspect the unit can be replaced by this if need be.

The service manual Section 8 will help.

Here is a parts list for the engine but discontinued parts are not listed. Was looking for the ignition part number.

I can not find the ignition part number.
