15 years ago

I have a john deere LT133 with a kowler engine sometimes it won"t start fire weak. Is there anything other than the coil to cause this trouble. Thanks for any help

No brain box. It is built into the coil. Remove the little kill wire from the coil and if you have no spark, then you have a dead plug or a bad coil pack. Be sure that if you are testing the spark w/ a spark plug that the base is grounded well. These coils do fail btw. If you do have spark with the kill wire off, then you need to look elsewhere.
