JD GT275 will not start

16 years ago

Hello, I have a JD GT275 with a 17 hp Kawasaki motor that will turn over but will not start. I pulled the plug and verified it is getting gas. The battery is testing at 12.66v and 12+v when the switch is in on position. I have cleaned the stator and coil ends and reset to .009-.010 gap. I have pulled the kill wire from the coil and still get a spark, both when the plug is touched to ground and screw driver near the block. Interesting note: the spark will only jump from screw driver when placed less then 1/16" (more like 1/32") from the block. All safety switches are working properly or else the engine would not turn over. There is an external ignition module mounted to the housing by the oil fill tube. I'm at a lose. Would this module increase the power of the spark? Any ideas would be appreciated.
