Trying to help my 80 year old uncle get his John Deere mower running again.
It has a Kawasaki FC420V engine.
It had a new coil two years ago.
No spark this Spring and we determined the ignitor was bad.
Ordered a new OEM igniter / module.
My uncle installed and he said it ran great for 1/2 hour or
less and he shut it off, and was never able to get it
started again.
It now "pops" in the carburetor and flames are visible in the
carb intake (with air cleaner off).
Spark at plug appears to be good.
New spark plug was tried.
Flywheel key looks good.
It has 118 psi compression, so it can't be an intake valve
"hung up".
Ideas appreciated!
