782 Coil
 

I have a Kohler KT17 series II that's out of a 782, it's now in a John Deere 317 (purchased like this) Model KT17 S, spec 24302

I have a bad coil, and have checked with meter, and also replaced coil with a known good coil, and it is the coil. I have searched several times with not much luck, are there any replacement coils like Bosch (the blue one everyone raves so much about) for a KT17, all I have found is OEM stuff.. I don't really want to run two coils.

Thanks, Clint

You might try this.... http://kirkengines.com/index.php#DualSuperCoil

I seen that, actually pretty much the only alternative to the OEM which is $100 +(+), I have never dealt with this company, however I have seen the website/name mentioned mostly the points saver which always gets good reviews.

I also have seen the transistor breaker-less system that replaces the points, looks like a cool idea, but points are not that bad, and even though I despise them (much prefer electronic ignition) points seem to last a very long time with very little problems. Roland have you had any dealings with http://www.kirkengines.com ? also what are your thoughts on the transistor breaker-less points slayer ?

Thanks Clint
