Roary the Repair Lion says:

Reasons for Failure:

  1. Engine Overheating - Check engine fan is not damaged (behind the recoil) and be sure there is sufficient airflow around the engine
  2. Flywheel hitting the Ignition Coil - Check crankcase bearing and Crankshaft Oil Seal
  3. Rusting - Rusting due to the metal components required for the production of a spark

Testing Procedure:

How to test your ignition coil:

  1. Remove the ignition coil and spark plug.
  2. Using a multimeter, set it to Ohms, and test across with the negative touching the Metal coil end, and the positive to the spark plug cap connection inside (without spark plug fitted.) Write down the results. Ideally, you should get 6 K-ohms, to indicate all is well.
  3. Now test from the Metal part of the ignition coil to the spade terminal at the end of the thin wire. Ideally, you should get 2.7 ohms, to indicate all is well.

If either of the above results is lower or higher, you need to replace the Ignition Coil.

How to test the Oil Alert Unit CDI Controller:  Be sure the oil is filled to the top, unplug the wire protruding from the engine just above the oil filler that connects to the "Oil Alert Unit CDI Controller" and try to start the engine again.

Oil Alert Unit CDI Controller

  • If it starts, you need to replace the Oil Alert Unit CDI Controller and do not need to replace Ignition Coil. Do not run the engine without the Oil Alert Unit CDI Controller. You must replace this part to protect your engine.
  • If it does not start, then we suggest you replace the Ignition Coil and the Oil Alert Unit CDI Controller as this often degrades and can be damaged by a failing Ignition Coil.

How to test the Spark Plug, we suggest having a look at this video.

Repair Tips:

It is very hard to fit the Ignition Coil without the magnetism on the flywheel pulling on the part. A great way to work around this is to use a standard paper business card.

  1. Place the business card over the flywheel (NOT where the magnet sits)
  2. Fit the ignition Coil so the curve faces towards the Flywheel and sits on the business card
  3. Tighten the bolts
  4. Turn the flywheel to remove the business card
  5. The Ignition Coil should now be set in the correct place. Turn flywheel to be sure the magnet does not connect with the ignition coil. If it does touch, repeat the process until it is set correctly and clears the flywheel. You might need to use additional business cards if the card was very thin.

Extra Information

Petrol Engine Machinery

Q. Why does my engine need the choke on to stay running?

A. Requiring the Choke to stay on to run is usually a fuel delivery problem and you should clean or replace the Air Filter and Carburetor. For further info on this, please Click Here:

Q. How do I fix a fuel leak from my Carburetor?

A. There are broadly two reasons for fuel leaking from the Carburetor. Either failed Seals or Gaskets. Or there is a Float Needle problem. We go into more if you Click Here:

Q. Why is my engine backfiring through the Carburetor?

A. On this type of engine, backfiring through the Carburetor is usually caused by problems in the Cylinder Head. Most commonly, the Valve Clearances need to be reset, or a Valve is stuck but this could also be other problems within the Cylinder Head so the parts need to be examined carefully. You can find a guide to resetting your Valve Clearances and more info, Click Here:

Q. I have no spark, what do I do?

A. There are initially three things to check, the low oil circuit, then the spark plug and ignition coil. For detailed instructions, Click Here:

A. On this type of engine, backfiring is usually caused by problems in the Cylinder Head. Most commonly, the Valve Clearances need to be reset, or a Valve is stuck but this could also be other problems within the Cylinder Head so the parts need to be examined carefully.

Q. My starter motor is spinning but the engine will not fire?

A. These engines do not have a spark so this is often a fuel issue, for diagnostic steps, please Click Here:

Q. Why is my generator producing excess smoke?

A. This can depend on the colour of the smoke: black smoke is too much fuel/not enough air, so clean or replace the air filter then examine the injector; white smoke is usually water in the fuel, change the fuel and filters; blue smoke is a sign of burning oil, usually this is caused by failed valve seals or piston rings.

Electric Start Device

Q. Why does my generator battery keep going flat?

A. Generators recharge their own battery and the part that is responsible for this is called the Battery Charging Rectifier or Regulator and provides a steady voltage back to the battery while it is running, these parts are prone to overheating and failure, for please Click Here:

Q. Why doesn’t my electric start work?

A. Firstly, whether this is an engine problem or electric start problem needs to be established. If the generator starts with the pull start, please see the link below, it will describe the different electric start circumstances and what to do. Click Here:
