When I bought my new # 2185 the gentleman told me that the right side coil
HAD to be re-placed. The knit-wits that designed the twin cylinder should have been flogged & castrated.
One MUST disconect the engine from the frame, pull it forward, then pull the shroud to get to them coils.
Slowly & more slowly a friend & I did it. He's done it before so it all came back to him. he suggested I re-place both. So thats what we did. Cost of the coils wasn't that bad at $ 57.00 each. But now the engine PURRRRRRRRRs.
After 2 1/2hrs. later.
Hardest part was dis-conecting drive shaft & all those rubber thingys coming out & trying to re-conect it.
Cub Cadet dealer wanted $ 400.00 plus parts for the job.
Nik,
