[_DX3_]

Well I finally got to mow the yard with the 1711 this weekend. It mowed great. I finished up and went in to get a drink and hook up the yard sweeper and start doing that. Sat down to start the engine and it just turned, without wanting to start. I pulled the plugs and could smell that I was getting fuel. Checked for spark, and saw absolutely nothing. I got out the KT17 service manual and figured I would check the coil. Was supposed to get 4 to 5 ohms resistance with meter set at Rx1k and the probes touching the + and - posts. I got 3. Then I checked secondary resistance at the high tension lead posts. With the meter set to Rx100k I should have seen, 9,500 to 11,500 ohms resistance. The needle pegged zero. Oh well, new coil and plug wires ordered, will be here in the morning. Just to have it on and know it is new, I'll get a new fuel pump next and that should have most everything new and updated. I did purchase new points and condenser, but when I pulled the cover the points were brand new and the timing was set perfectly. The condenser checked out good also, as it too was new.
