Are you sure about that????
I just picked up a Honda HT3813 lawn tractor with no spark to either of the two plugs, checked it all over and figured the coil must be bad. I pulled it apart to get the coil off and figured I would clean (wire wheel) the coil and the fly wheel 1st seeing a new coil was $95.00 or so.The owner used to leave it outside so it was a bit rusty.
I cleaned it up put the battery to it and had the plugs against metal, hit the key and walla spark! Put the plugs in it before putting it back together just to make sure it would run and it fired right up.And I checked all the wires and wiggled things to make sure there was no loose connections before I even did all this cause I could see it was going to be a pain to get to that coil. So far it has been used 3 times and still working good.
Just my 2 cents and not trying to start a pissing match.I am by far no mechanic just a dangerous idiot with some hand tools and minimal knowledge of mechanics :smile:
