No spark at either coil on Honda GXV530

Postby RMR » Mon Apr 22, 2019 8:59 am

Honda GXV530. I don't work on many twin cylinder Honda's, and this one is quite dirty, and mounted on a overly plastic protected Lawn Boy zero turn. Therefore I am not able to locate the stamped code in the block.
I've got a no spark issue on both coils. I have a good strong battery. Both coils have been unplugged from the central stop diode. I have checked the flywheel gap, changed the plugs, and added a temporary ground from the battery directly to to the cylinder head. Still no spark on either coil......
Suggestions??

Hopefully you can get the coil numbers from the Toro IPL. Are you getting any voltage off the kill circuit that would have killed the coils?

I recon I'm going to go with my first inclination that both coils are defective. I never trust ohming them as I always get different numbers. But going off the meter, they test bad. Who knows why or how.
