18 HP L-Head (2 cyl flat head) no spark
Comments (4)Thanks, I have taken the cowling (fan and flywheel cover) off and see the Ignition Unit is the whole ignition, except for the spark plugs and the magnet on the flywheel that swings past the Ignition Unit package with the laminated core for the rotating magnet to induce the ignition electrical charge into the spark plug wires. It also has a kill wire, which I disconnected, and found there was still no spark. I then measured the resistance (ohm meter) from each plug back to the laminate/ground and found an open circuit. As this is the secondary of the "coil" it should measure in the neighborhood of 3K ohms, per an on-line reference. I have ordered a new Ignition Unit, expect it will arrive tomorrow. It came for about $35 delivered, a good bit less than for an Onan I'll bet. I end up with a completely new Ignition with this one part. I'll post here if this fixes the problem, if it doesn't there must be something wrong with my trouble shooting method or with the magnet/installation. I have also found the gap should be a bit over 0.01" or the thickness of a business card. As for the authenticity of the GT6000 claim, the manual shows 917.255970, no mention of GT6000, and the hood has "Diehard" and "Gold 18 HP" which refers the the B&S engine. The front, below the "grill" is a lable: GT6000. The tractor was purchased in April 1993, and was not the top-of-the-line, which I think came in a dark gray color and had an Onan engine. The engine has about 1500 hours on it, and is "tough as nails" as is the 2x3 manual transmission (6 forward, 2 reverse), and the frame. It has been a good tractor; this and a fuel diaphragm replacement are the only engine repairs to date. It may be on its third set of plugs, and the full air cleaner components were replace a couple of years back. It has a washable prefilter....See More2-headed 2-timer
Comments (4)Either way its nice to get so many flowers. I think its great the way the red petal tips pick up the red spine tips. A lot of spring-flowering species will put out autumn flowers if they get a long growing season....See MoreZone 2b When to plant Dahlias?
Comments (2)I started mine in pots under grow lights and now they are hardening off on my deck. I'll probably plant them in a couple of weeks. (I did this for the dahlias and callas, the glads go right in the ground)....See MoreNeed help with layout/shower head (x2) placement for double shower
Comments (8)This is a bit off topic but the space between the vanity and the shower looks tight along the path to the walk-in closet. The gas chamber looks confining (think public toilet stall), especially with a tall ceiling. Because of that and the shower head arrangement, it leads me to believe there are other areas in the house that could use some adjustment. Has the construction started on the house? If not you may want to post the floor plans and exterior elevations and site plan to get some review. But as always . . . WARNING: Posting your entire floor plan opens you up to facts you may not want to know, but should. Be prepared for suggestions that will make for a better design. Keep a thick skin, open mind, sense of humor, and a glass of wine within arms reach. You may not enjoy it, but everyone else will and you will be better off in the long run if you heed well the advice....See Morelinda_6
