Default New Coil...which one?

Hi all,
I have a 2186 with the Kohler 18hp Command. I've lost the spark on the number 2 cylinder. I changed the plugs and it ran the same, like on one cylinder intermittently.
I figure bad coil. I've pulled the engine, the cover and took a pic of the coil and part#. I wanted to do all the cleaning under the cover, air ways, etc. It is a dirty mess but the cylinder cooling fins are fairly clean.
Would you replace the coils with Koher OEM for about $100 of with after marker for about half the price. I'm leaner hard towards the Kohler.
Thanks,
Randy

You need to test with an ohm meter to see if in fact you have a
bad coil before spending money.

I just bought a chinese coil from these guys and I'm happy with it, quality and price-wise. It was a dual coil for my M18.

Smile Coil

I would go with the Kohler coils. I would not be surpised that they were not made in China.

Almost always better to go with the genuine parts, but if cost is an issue, by all means, go with the aftermarket offshore parts.

I went with two of these on Amazon.


GENUINE KOHLER PART 24 584 45-S MODULE, IGNITION (CDI FIXED)
Visit the Kohler Store
4.7 out of 5 stars 192 ratings
Price: $50.41

I installed and the engine runs good now. It was really dirty everywhere.
I did some cleaning too which couldn't have hurt anything.

Thanks,
Randy

Well that is interesting. You can buy two coils for less than MSRP and get a flywheel included for free?

I may need coils for my 1864. This looks like the way to go.

Yes it's worked out really well for me a couple times when the magnets were loose and broken on the flywheel.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
