2072 coil and plug wires

[Bsmith]

I have a question concerning the plug wires and coil on a 2072.

I want to change the wires, but I can't find the coil.

The wires disappear down into the engine shroud on the right hand side.

You can't see the other end of the wires or the coil.

Must the engine be removed from the tractor and all the shrouding removed to access this?

I hope not, but I can't figure out how else to get this done.

The plug wires aren't replaceable on an M-20. You have to replace the whole coil/ or ignition module I think is what Kohler calls it. It is behind the rear tins, and yes, you should probably take the motor out. Its a lot easier that way.

Any particular reason you want to change the wires for?

Yea it is a lot of work. if it is still running let it be. I did replace just the boots on a few that were falling apart. I got real nice ones at NAPA that looked totally stock, they also were hard to get on but made the old wires look great. Dave

I have my M20 apart if you want pictures. I can txt them to you if you send me your contact info in a PM.

Thanks for the response guys.

The wires are looking kind of ragged and I was going to be proactive and change them.

However now that I know this, I may let well enough alone and as long as she is running not worry about them.
