No spark 149
 

Good evening, I'm having some trouble with my 149. I was mowing the lawn this evening and the tractor died at full throttle as if I had turned the key off. I tested for spark, no spark. Replaced plug still no spark. Put test light on positive on the coil and turned the key on, light goes on so there's power. Cranked motor over with test light on negative and there was no light. Does anyone have any idea, I could really use your help. What further testing can be done to get this figured out, the lawn is partly mowed and it seems to grow like no tomorrow with all this rain!!!

sounds as if you have a dead coil or if it has an external condenser that may have failed either way it would be wise to put a new blue coil on it with an internal condenser

I dont have the link I am sure some one else here does

If it is any consolation I had a dead battery today so I put it on charge and went to do other things came back 30 min later to the coil smoking and blowing oil out of the now broken top I had left the key in the ON position (DOHHH)

Lesson learned " TURN KEY OFF" when its not running

That stinks, perhaps tomorrow will be a better day!
