Craftsman Ignition System

The ignition coil is a standard part of internal combustion engines on lawn and garden equipment. This coil consists of the ignition plug, plastic housing, and metal wires that include a flexible plastic casing. The coil is responsible for connecting the spark plug and transmitting the current that creates the spark that allows the engine to fire. This coil may develop wiring problems or the rubber and plastic parts may become worn and damaged over time. This will require a full replacement of the assembly. It is a good idea to inspect the coil when changing the spark plug as a part of routine maintenance, as well. This genuine OEM ignition coil is compatible with lawn and garden equipment from Troy-Bilt, MTD, Yard Machines, Yard Man, HUSKEE, and Cub Cadet. It can be used on more than 150 lawn and garden machines, including lawn mowers, log splitters, and chipper/shredder models. This coil assembly includes the ignition plug, metal wires encased in plastic, and a plastic housing. The hardware required to install this part is sold separately, as are all other components. Be sure to wear gloves and allow the engine to cool before working on the ignition or other components.

As an ignition coil, this OEM replacement part is tasked with sending voltage to a spark plug whenever the engine is not currently running. It can be used in many tools including snowblowers and lawnmowers. If the ignition coil has malfunctioned or is no longer working, the engine on the lawn and garden equipment will not start. In some cases, a replacement governor arm will also be required.In some cases, when an ignition coil breaks or stops working properly, it will have evidence of cracks, carbon tracking, or burn marks. If visual inspection shows any of those things are present, the ignition coil will need to be replaced. Testing the ignition coil is simple and requires switching it out for a new one to see if the problems stop occurring. A spark tester can also be used to see if the ignition coil has gone bad.This ignition coil is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is compatible with lawnmowers, generators, snowblowers, and tillers manufactured by Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh, Craftsman, and Toro. It comes as an individual part. An ignition tester can be useful for installation and troubleshooting with this component.
